Landscape architecture can be used to create public art by using innovative methods such as sculptural installations, integrated water features, green roofs, and living walls. These methods create unique and interactive spaces that engage the public and enhance their experience of the outdoors. Moreover, landscape architects can use art installations to address social and environmental issues, such as environmental conservation, social equity, and community engagement. For example, a rain garden can be designed to incorporate art components that highlight the importance of stormwater management or a public seating area can be designed in the shape of a book to promote literacy. By using landscape architecture to create public art, design professionals can help promote public engagement, increase community pride, and beautify public spaces.
