It is the direction I would like to take our practice in the future. Although Landscape Architecture is not as prominent or as publicised as architecture or planning it does provide a rewarding career for those interested in art as design as well as the natural sciences. What sets this discipline apart from others in the construction industry is the aspect of time. While a building, once completed, merely ages, a landscape grows, evolves and matures, changing with the seasons. It can be all things for all people.
Architecture is less about the design of buildings, than an attitude to life.
It's about creativity, imagination and dreaming a better world for the future. Neil Leach, Writer and Lecturer, Nottingham Taking the Right Steps AS you would expect of such a responsible career, educating as an architect is a serious business. A minimum of 2 years professional practice in an architects' office or equivalent. One year is usually taken after part 1, and the other year after part 2. This is followed by the RIBA Professional Practice Examination, known as RIBA Part 3.
