On Thursday, November 20, 2015 I conducted an interview with Mr. Denis Nola, a Landscape Architect who is responsible for many of the spaces created at the University of Maryland.

Although this actually happened a few times, the overall experience of the

For a moment, let’s consider the changing American Landscape. In order to accomplish this, we have to look at how our landscape has changed both naturally and culturally over time. When describing our current landscape we use words such as urban jungle, the other side of the tracks, mountain folks, lowlands, diverse and high society, but can you image being described as “gentle and primitive.” (Redd, 2012) One can begin discussing this topic by going all the way back to when “The Clovis People”

“Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.” - Henri Frédéric Amiel It’s more often the unknown that causes us to ask questions.

"Spring landscape with a creek" is an impressionist oil painting by a Czech painter named Frantisek Kavan in 1890. This piece of art is chosen because it portrays an image of a landscape in which a creek of water is running through the meadows. The golden sun seems like taking a bath in the water hedged by green fields where yellow flower buddings can be seen.

What is Landscape Architecture and Its role in Sustainable Development ? 1.0 Introduction Landscape architects plan the most harmonious relationships between the land and the objects on it by proper combination of open space and planting. They may work on parks, gardens, housing projects, school campuses, golf courses, or airports. They begin a project by reviewing the needs and desires of the client.
