What is landscape architecture?

Landscape architecture is the design and planning of outdoor spaces, including parks, public squares, residential gardens, commercial landscapes, and more. It involves the creation of outdoor environments that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable. Landscape architects use their knowledge of ecology, horticulture, engineering, and architecture to design and create outdoor spaces that enhance human interaction with the natural world. Additionally, landscape architects may work on projects involving restoration of degraded environments, preservation of historical sites, and management of public lands.
