Talk:Landscape architecture

message: I came here in search of a definition of "masterplanning". This article uses the term without any real explanation. Nor is there one elsewhere. This is one of the few places on Wikipedia where the term features.
Is the term synonymous with landscape architect? It doesn't seem like it.
-A Masterplan is a term commonly used amongst landscape architects. It is typically a final drawing consisting of a graphical representation of all the elements on a site. Buildings, paths, vegetation, key features, and basic reference material like scale and orientation. Since a majority of design time is spent on research and many layers of data, analyzing it on a map of the site a masterplan is not derived till the conclusion of this process.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.196.107.34 (talk) 23:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Definition of masterplanning?

message: I took out the section headings added by User:70.56.89.11 earlier today. We already have a List of landscape architects. I'm not sure a list of examples would be that helpful, but I think it should be on a separate page if someone wants to start one. :: Supergolden 13:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Landscape Architects and Works

message: The following two sentences (from two different sections of the otherwise great article) may be accurate but, as written, they read as inconsistent: "The term "landscape architecture" was invented by Gilbert Laing Meason in 1828 and was first used as a professional title by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1863.... The term "landscape architecture" was then taken up by JC Loudon and AJ Downing." funkendub 16:10, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I strongly disagree (see Talk:Landscape architect). I think many sections relating to practice and the professional should move to Landscape architect and the remainder expanded for the discipline- much like Architect and Architecture.  Mariokempes 00:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  POV 

message: This article is so Anglo centric that it can't be taken seriously. It totally ignores the history - as if the Americans were the first ones to start designing the parks in the world (in 1800?). The photo: 'Central park is an example of landscape architecture' is plain wrong. So can be any park in Europe or Asia dating centuries before the Central park was designed. Just because the Americans and other Anglo nations started to call gardeners 'landscape architects' it doesn't mean it starts in 1800s, in USA.
Till today the term 'landscape architect' is not used in many countries ie. France, yet they are designing parks (much  better than the American or Australian ones). This article needs to be rewritten and make some sense, include more history and embrace the whole of the world.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.15.77.161 (talk) 15:25, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Central Park is not an example of landscape architecture? Instead of making blunderous comments, it would be much better to add to the article with any information you might have on the history of non-American parks. Kbog (talk) 20:15, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi Hafspajen, I have no problem with any of the seven references already there. There are a number of places in the article where it is indicated that citations are needed, and many more where there could be. I am not an expert in the field, so do not have any particular suggestions or recommendations. My interest is simply a general one in seeing much more documentation of sources in support of the information presented in the article. Thank you for your interest & efforts to improve this article. Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 21:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You  are not an expert in the field??   Well I thought you were. Anyway, I am a landscape architect ( profession)and I think most of the things are pretty correct in the article, but I can try to find refs for what was asked for.   Best regards.

message: I miss things in the definition. What is the purpose of landscape architecture? What are the design targets? I definitively consider that function and aesthetics are words that should appear in the article.
