Talk:Landscape architect

message: I am questioning the validity of the statement: "Despite the efforts of landscape architects it is still not unusual for an architect to be commissioned to provide landscape architectural services" since that is actually fairly unusual in the USA.  I am assuming that this article was written by someone who is not residing in America, and I would like to amend that statement to differentiate between regions.  For example, we could change it to say that "In the United Kingdom it is not unusual for an architect to be commissioned to provide landscape architectural services, however in the United States a licensed Landscape Architect is often required for certain projects"...  I am not going to change it yet because I am not familiar with how this is handled in other countries, and I would appreciate any input from other LA's regarding this.  Also, I admit that I am currently a student and have not practiced the profession so I am relatively inexperienced in this matter.  Please, feel free to educate me.Claudia 22:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What you are saying is spot on. In Europe, the landscape architect profession is fairly new and the norm in many countries is for certain architects to "specialize" in that aspect as it relates to exterior space (note I said "space" because the emphasis is on hard landscape- plantings are somewhat ignored or left to others). There is usually no regulatory requirement for an LA as there may be in the US, and certification of that work typically falls on the lap of architects. Mariokempes 21:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Architects commissioned for Landscape Architectural Services

message: If anything these pages should be merged the other way around: merge the list of 'landscape architects' with the page about 'landscape architecture'. The profession/discipline should not be put second to the practicioners.
I think these two topics are very related, and there is no reason for separate pages, although I welcome discussion.  Claudia 18:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. I think the profession (Landscape Architect) and the discipline (Landscape Architecture) are two different subjects and, perhaps, the articles should be better delineated to avoid overlap. Have a look at Architect and Architecture or Lawyer and Law for examples. Mariokempes 23:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I think your goal is better achieved with strong, clear cross-links and descriptions in the article itself. Merging the two muddles the issue and creates confusion over profession and discipline. Let's make that distinction clear. So, is it time to remove the merge tag and get to work?

message: Three English-speaking countries are far too few countries for even English-speaking countries. What about Canada or Guyana or New Zealand or South Africa? What about many other countries with a rich and long history of landscape architecture, such as China or France? Globalize!--Dthomsen8 (talk) 13:25, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
