Do you have to be a great artist to get a Masters of Landscape Architecture?

I am going to be graduating with a Bachelors degree (geography) at the end of the year and I am interested in pursuing a M.L.A. Although I have no design experience, I feel that I have the drive, and creativity to succeed in the field. My problem is that I can not draw. I've never had to draw in my undergraduate classes. Will this hinder me? Also many schools ask for a portfolio with your application, and since my degree is in geography, I have nothing that could go in a portfolio of work. Could anyone clear these things up for me? PS: I can make a mean model, just dont ask me to draw anything.

  1. Most architectural drawing is done with computers these days - CAD (computer aided drafting) I'm not in this field but my daughter and son-in-law have taken a lot of CAD and my engineer spouse also used CAD a bunch.
  2. Probably not. Contact Purdue, they have the best program and I am sure they could tell you.
