Hello guys i'm back! Today is all about Landscape Architecture. If you do not know what landscape architecture is, it is exactly what it sounds like, The design of public or environmental areas. This form of architecture has been around for ages since the 1700’s to be exact. Landscape architecture has shown people that even the natural world can be designed and organized as well as buildings can and doesn’t have to just be there when you walk outside.

If you want to see a good deal of landscape architecture, I would definitely recommend the Fairchild tropical botanic garden. It is huge and has many places to see. They have different areas where you can visit and even have them divided by different biomes such as desert, rainforest, etc... They have many different plants and art decorations displayed and if you look closely you may find a few weird animals you may never normally see.

Landscape architecture has a long history so it's no surprise that it has changed and evolved over time. Today there are six main parts of landscape architecture (Site planning, urban design, land development, parks and recreation, ecological and environmental design, and heritage conversion)

Site Planning- Organization process and determining the appearance of land site
Urban Design-shaping the physical setting for communities
Land Development-The altering of a landscape
Parks and Recreation- design of parks, open spaces, and recreational areas
Ecological and Environmental design- modifying public areas with existing natural space
Heritage Conversion- The protection of landmarks and historical sites or items
