Dear Zydi Teqja. My experience in designing equipment, parks, houses and settlements shows that architecture is not construction, business, or literature, and is not the subject of a politician, sculptor or agricultural worker, although it is associated with almost every kind of human life or civilization. As Cinderella, she regularly becomes the queen of the ball, and then she is kicked out of the table. So she was removed from the pharaohs, the Athenian democrats, the Roman emperors, and the medieval workshops, becoming a draftsman at first for the wealthy doges, so that today she can do the cosmetics of mass construction. After the discovery of computers, architects began to pretend that by an accelerated period of study (almost three years according to the Bologna Revolution of Education) they would be able to solve the problem of climate, quality and stability of the habitat. Therefore, it does not matter where you study architecture, it is important that you become one, and not change your profession, due to the fact that this place is occupied by a specialist from another field.

Landscape design is important to give the universities best look

Dear Zydi Teqja.

The goals of landscape planning are comparable to those of landscape design, however, planning projects often are

a greater focus on public goods than on private ones

-larger scale

-longer duration

implemented through multiple contracts as opposed to a single contract.

Landform, vertical structures, horizontal structures, vegetation, water, and climate are the six primary compositional aspects of a landscape.

The technique of organizing these components.

"landscape design."

Garden design is a specialist field of landscape design that focuses on private space and private products. The two forms of art are different in that one is focused on private space while the other is focused on public space. An area of overlap and the birthplace of the profession of landscape architecture is the public park.

On its website, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) describes the profession as follows: Landscape architects design the built environment of neighborhoods, towns, and cities while protecting and managing the natural environment, including its forests and fields, rivers, and coasts. The best design of spaces for people and other living things is a specific dedication among members of the profession to raising the quality of life. In actuality, we are surrounded by the work of landscape architects. Members of the profession do planning for locations including business parks, public squares, and thoroughfares. The skill of landscape architects in planning and designing the building of practical structures is evident in the attractiveness of parks, motorways, housing projects, urban plazas, zoos, and universities.

Dear Usama Badawey,

The head of the regional government decided to build a park, having listened to the opinions of sociologists (the issue of employment will be resolved), economists (capital intensity will increase), environmentalists (the air will improve), psychologists (will appear a place of calm), which, with certain public resources, determined the place and geometry of it. The builders of roads, water supply, sewerage and power supply will do their work if the gardener shows them the place of the tree location. The gardener understands that no matter how he plants trees, they will not affect the climate and the standard of living. However, he also understands that the closer the image of the park is to the concept of a work of art, the higher his image will be, which gives him an opportunity to begin his further self-education.

Is it possible to learn this ability at the university?

Parks and gardens and good gardeners appeared long before medieval universities. As a subject of special education, it has existed for several decades. What has changed during this time? Are there more parks or have they become more attractive?

Doubt that this progress had become a result of the three-year education at the university in the speciality "landscape" + urban planing+agriculture +design+architecture+art".

Dear Usama Badawy, thank you for your contribution. Sorry could you explain; You say: "see diagrams", but I do not see any diagram in your post.

Dear Volodymyr Durmanov thank you very much for your contribution. It looks that you do not see space for landscape architecture in universities where architecture education is provided. Isn't it?

Dear Zydi Teqja. Thank you for the very important question that touched on the problem of architectural education in the era of mechanical or quasi-metric valuation of talent. You are absolutely right. Universities should become places of help for practising architects, to get a scientific and not practical education. Architectural colleges (3 years of study) should prepare students to find work in the city administration, in construction, in design offices, and work among gardeners. Their effectiveness should be determined by the level of employment presented in the press so that everyone knows where to go to study and where they will work. Replenishing the ranks of unemployed architects (after three years of free education) is immoral and economically unjustified. If practising architects want to devote themselves to research work, they can continue their education at the university if wish. Colleges should be specialized, and universities should be able to move from regional to global issues, depending on the scale of the tasks and funding opportunities.

Dear Zydi Teqja, I've now deleted this phrase from my response. Originally, I had intended to draw anything, but I later changed my mind (see diagram, right), so I didn't remember to do so.

Landscape architecture is a multidisciplinary discipline. Therefore there are many subjects to cover during the studies, in social sciences and humanities, in the sciences and in the arts. This has all to be studied, independent from the question whether the discipline is attached to a planning faculty, an agricultural one or a science one.

Where landscape architecture was and is positioned happened and happens by chance, depending from where the founders saw an opening or what their personal preferences were.

In the first years students should learn about all the different ways to work as a landscape architect. Be it in creating public or private green spaces or in large scale landscape planning or promoting and protecting biodiversity you need knowledge in all three areas, only with different depths.

Three years is not enough to learn all that is necessary for a successful career, therefore further education in a master study is recommended (and also often a condition to become a member of the chamber of architects in Germany). But also in every profession there is a process of lifelong learning.

Of course the discipline has developed very much during the about a hundred years of university education. The knowledge of urban ecology has advanced quite a lot, also the knowledge of the requirements of citizens.

While as in former times good landscape architects knew things by intuition (these are the parks etc. we still admire) this is not enough in our complicated societies where you have to convince and supply for many people with different requirements. It is not enough to convince only a king and his adviser.

Also we have changed the natural environment so much that we have to really know about it to make the necessary repairs.

So the more landscape architects as a discipline know the better. Of course no individual can be proficient in all the necessary subjects but they should know what is required and be able to build (and lead) a team which can deal with all the problems in a given project.

Landscape architects are not gardeners. That is a profession in its own right, with an educational process of its own.

Many professions which are nowadays study programmes at universities

started as a craft. Take medical doctors: I think nobody would want them to work at the base of knowledge they had in medieval times or even in the 19th century.

The profession of doctor, architect and scientist was born before the long emergence of universities. Legends say that the builder of the first stone mastaba, Imhotep, was such a universal person. It is absolutely true that any profession needs the development of narrow mental technologies, as well as basic knowledge about people and nature. However, it is very difficult to connect a researcher looking for a flu vaccine with a district doctor saving a human life with the means that he has at hand. As in the field of architecture, these two medical professions are linked by social ties and are unlikely to be covered by one definition. The problem is not to eliminate professional specialization, but to make it effective in both areas of human activity. I suppose that today's training projects, on the basis of which the information technology level of an architect's training is determined, should not be mixed with the scientific training of a researcher. Despite the fact that these two approaches to cognition are present in a person, there is no reason to assert that craft training is the lowest level of other forms of cognition.
