People often default to thinking of landscape architecture as garden design and not wrongly; many very talented landscape architects design gardens. However, the field of landscape architecture is much larger than gardens alone, with many different avenues of theory and practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what is landscape architecture?

They might analyze the site\u2019s existing and projected connectivity &#8211; how pedestrians, bicycles, or vehicles move through the area and how this can be made more efficient or enjoyable. They might analyze the historical, cultural, or ecological context, the site\u2019s microclimates, its drainage patterns, or the size of the space and how it relates to the existing or proposed program (program refers to the functions or activities that occur within the space). They might research best practice guidelines for gender-inclusive spaces, or collaborate with community members in the design. A plaza or square can be a complex site and it is the role of the landscape architect to integrate multiple site opportunities and constraints to design a space that achieves the project goals or vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-334b1fba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"334b1fba\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e81b79b\" data-id=\"e81b79b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d6304f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6d6304f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1_Bonn-Square-4.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1280\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1_Bonn-Square-4.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1_Bonn-Square-4.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1_Bonn-Square-4.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1_Bonn-Square-4.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Photo: David Stewart\u00a0<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-53f8c9b7\" data-id=\"53f8c9b7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-655f9de5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"655f9de5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/bonn-square\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonn Square, Oxford, England<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design: <a href=\"https:\/\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/category\/projects\/graeme-massie-architects-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graeme Massie Architects<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An interesting and helpful example of this project type is Bonn Square in Oxford, England.

For many people, thinking about a park conjures images of green lawns, pleasantly spaced trees, playgrounds, sculptures, ponds, people strolling along snaking pathways, kids playing sports, etc; images that revolve around one\u2019s immediate pleasure and experience of a park. However many parks have functions that may be less apparent; ecological restoration, stormwater infiltration, flood management, carbon sequestration, and food production are all common functions for a park, in addition to more typical functions like recreation. Cultural practices such as traditional land management might also be integrated into a park\u2019s design or program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The size of parks can vary greatly, from pocket parks that might be just as big as the adjacent lot, to much larger parks such as Central Park in New York or Hyde Park in London. Large parks are often subject to high-profile design competitions and can be very innovative. I recommend reading the compelling and thought-provoking book \u2018Large Parks\u2019, edited by Julia Czerniak and George Hargreaves. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-15b08949 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"15b08949\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4efb9d7d\" data-id=\"4efb9d7d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d810c33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5d810c33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/quzhou-luming-park-11.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-969\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/quzhou-luming-park-11.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/quzhou-luming-park-11.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/quzhou-luming-park-11.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/quzhou-luming-park-11.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/quzhou-luming-park-11.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Photo: Kongjian Yu, Turenscape<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1e2f8fac elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1e2f8fac\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-34407ee2\" data-id=\"34407ee2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65e8e1c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65e8e1c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/quzhou-luming-park-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quzhou Luming Park, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design: <a href=\"https:\/\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/category\/projects\/turenscape-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turenscape<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chinese firm <a href=\"https:\/\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/category\/projects\/turenscape-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turenscape<\/a> designs truly remarkable parks.

Common examples are abandoned rail yards or rail lines, vacant industrial buildings and their surroundings, landfills, and power or gas plants. Often these sites have the added complexity of containing toxic materials or the need to manage emissions (such as landfills). Abandoned sites can become problematic for surrounding residents. In response, landscape architects can be asked to design a scheme that transforms a site to serve a new function &#8211; frequently into parks or gathering places. Rather than demolishing the existing landscape and structures that can have important historical or cultural value, landscape architects often look for ways to integrate the past use with the new use, or retain particular elements that recall the previous landscape and its functions. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-49d2d378 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49d2d378\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5fd8b860\" data-id=\"5fd8b860\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45d97284 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"45d97284\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industrycitycourtyard5-6-5.jpg?fit=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2266\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industrycitycourtyard5-6-5.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industrycitycourtyard5-6-5.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industrycitycourtyard5-6-5.jpg?resize=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industrycitycourtyard5-6-5.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Photo: Industry City\u00a0<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71e2716a\" data-id=\"71e2716a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d627e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d627e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/industry-city-courtyard-5-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry City Courtyard 5-6, Brooklyn, New York, USA<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design: <a href=\"https:\/\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/category\/projects\/terrain-nyc-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terrain-nyc<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An example of this project type is the Industry City Courtyard 5-6 project in Brooklyn, New York, USA, by design firm terrain-nyc.

These might be sites where the historic nature is obvious, with archaeological or historical structures present, or it might be a landscape of cultural significance where the history is less evident but no less meaningful. A landscape architect might become involved to complete a written landscape assessment report to document their analysis of the landscape character of the site, or they might become involved to design an intervention that helps visitors explore and learn about the landscape in a way that is meaningful and non-harmful to the existing landscape. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5427ab61 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5427ab61\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35ca296d\" data-id=\"35ca296d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43d766c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"43d766c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/landscapearchitecturebuilt.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FI_roman-forum-empuries03.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3024\" alt=\"An image of landscape architecture project Restoration of the Roman Forum of Emp\u00faries, by design firm Lola Dom\u00e8nech, in Girona, Spain.
