This is for anyone who works in the field of "landscape architecture"?
i am interested in environmental architectural design, but i was wondering about landscape architecture what are your main responsibilities? what kind of training and education do you need (i am getting my bachelors in a completely different subject so what would graduate school be like, years etc) do you get to design green buildings or just park-like public spaces? what are your responsibilities when you start out, where do you work? do you need a strong math background? what kind of math is essential? thank you

- Hi Katie, I'm Architect, I may answer some of your questions - about landscape architecture it's a science of outdoor spaces which includes soft landscape (trees, greenery, water ...elements which come from nature) and hard scape elements that you added through your design like seating area, paving areas, sculptures, fountains, planters, walls.....etc) - landscaping could be in green architecture like roof gardens, outdoor shading plants, wind resistant plants, in general it doesn't interfere interior design or building details in green buildings. - about school, I don't know about your school study system but to be a landscape architect you should have knowledge of plants -all about plants- ground covers, details - about working, 1-design and draw on paper, 2-site architect, 3- consultant - about math background, calculus 1+2 recommended as any type architecture hope that helps :)
