What is Landscape Architecture?

Landscape architecture is the study and practice of planning, design, and management of the natural and built environment. Landscape architecture is dedicated to improving and protecting the health of humans, environments, and communities. Landscape architecture encompasses art, environments, architecture, engineering, and sociology.
