Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architecture is concerned with the quality of land use. It includes the analysis of environmental and social factors and recommendations for the preservation, planning, design, construction, management and research of natural and developed land areas. The scope of projects varies from broad, regional landscape planning and analysis to detailed site design.
