My Interest In Landscape Architecture

865 Words4 Pages

Ever since I heard of landscape architecture and what landscape architects do, it has always been my only ambition because it incorporates my passions and hobbies into study and eventually a job. From a young age, I have always loved design, art, photography, nature and outdoor spaces all of which are points of interests and skills that landscape architects require. In my previous studies, related subjects to landscape architecture that I have studied and have had a keen interest in were IGCSE Art and Design as well as Geography (both of which I obtained the A* grade). I feel that these two subjects have been the starting point in helping me to decide that landscape architecture is the right pathway for me. I had never took art as seriously …show more content…

I enjoy ballet classes, gymnastics training as well as taking my two dogs on walks around the neighbourhood and the occasional hike. Apart from keeping me fit and healthy, I find that these activities help me to clear my mind and temporarily escape from academic stress near project deadlines or examinations. They also enable me to manage my time better and keep a balance between academic study and co-curricular activities as I manage to allocate my time efficiently between the two. Now that I am no longer in secondary school and I do not currently study art related subjects, I take a weekly folk art class which I enjoy very much and I feel exercises the imagination and creativity skills of which I think will be useful while pursuing landscape …show more content…

I envision myself making a positive impact on people’s lives by transforming spaces. I am extremely excited to be able to make a connection between the natural and human systems by understanding how the natural environment goes about and the ways in which humans interact with it. It is remarkable to think that I will be able to design and find or create solutions that will benefit people, wildlife and the environment. I think that what is absolutely appealing about the kind of job I will be doing after I complete my studies is that everyday will be interesting because no days on the job will be alike. I will be facing different challenges which will make the world more liveable while protecting the environment. One particular aspect of what landscape architects are able to do which fascinates me and urges me further to pursue this profession is that landscape architects are needed to tackle the obstacles of the future from issues such as sustainable infrastructure, landscape regeneration and preservation, healthy living and of course, climate change. Landscape architects work as the glue between the population, environment and built environment and wildlife and are safeguards of the

Using terms and citing examples from the textbook in your essay, how does environment contribute to the design? Architecture can essentially be seen all around us, from the houses that we inhabit, to the bridges that we drive over, to much greater lands acquiring all of the early 1800’s cathedrals and 21st century sky scrapers. Often we just perceive what we can physically see for the moment without putting much thought into all of the planning and calculating that goes into properly constructing such architectural buildings. Architecture can be both a science and an art; however, it must first be a science to become an art, and then ultimately, both. To begin with, proper planning and calculations must first be made in order to determine if whether or not an architectural structure will be able to prove durable on the ground which it is made and at the location which it will stand.

Taking art 1301 was one of the best decisions in my life, because I learned the true meaning of art, history plays a important part in art and there is art everywhere. I discovered that the art museum had so many great paintings and some of the artwork comes from the old times, like during the world war I and II , I did not know the museum would have amazing historical artwork. One thing I noticed is that some artist have created the same type of artwork they use one skill for all their paintings or statue for example Fred Wilson created the “ Were ancient Egyptians black,white,or brown” his artwork has the same faces created five time, but the only difference is the color of the statue. He used the same technics, which makes his art

Many people who go into nature always see it as something beautiful and aesthetic, but they never see the other side to nature. Humankind’s connection with nature isn’t a real one. They always look at the bright side of nature but are blind to the true dark side of nature. JB MacKinnon’s article “False Idyll” (2012), reveals that nature is not just flowers in a field but can also be the survival of the fittest. He backs up his claim by talking about nature through anecdotes and expert’s research.

“Biophilic design is the deliberate attempt to translate an understanding of biophilia into the design of the built environment” (Kellert, 2008). It involves building and landscape design that enhance human well-being by fostering positive connections between people and natural environment. It is an innovative design approach that aims to maintain, enhance and restore the benefits of experiencing nature in the built environment. It starts by observing the effect of the mutual interaction between the natural and the built environment. The learned knowledge is then reflected onto the design and construction of the built environment.
