Landscape architect

Landscape architects design outdoor spaces — parks, gardens, campuses, and public areas — balancing beauty, function, and ecology. The work involves analysing sites, developing designs and plans, selecting plants and materials, coordinating with engineers and clients, and overseeing how designs are built.

They work for design firms, developers, and government. The role suits creative, technically grounded people who can synthesise client needs, site conditions, and environmental goals into designs that work, and who care about shaping outdoor spaces that people enjoy and that function well over time.
