landscape architecture

Outdoor space planning

Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor spaces—parks, gardens, campuses, urban plazas, and other environments where land meets human use.

The field combines aesthetics with practical considerations like drainage, erosion, and accessibility.

A landscape architect might plan a public waterfront, design the grounds of a corporate headquarters, or restore a damaged ecosystem: She studied landscape architecture before opening her own firm.
