Difference: Architect and Landscape Architect?

Giovanna Sherlin: I am planning to pursue a career in Landscape Architect, and just curious what's the difference between having a bachelor or a master degree? Because some of the colleges I checked only offer Bachelor degrees in Landscape.

Bethany Blocker: Landscape architect is a different branch...its more the outside aspect of it....like backyards, gardens, parks, it's the outside portion. Architects are more into buildings and the inside. They are each their separate degree.

Mahalia Brindle: architect - someone who creates plans to be used in making something (such as buildings) landscape architect - someone who arranges features of the landscape or garden attractively

Bethanie Menden: Really? I'm sure you can research this. Google, for example, will have all your answers.

Victor Macallister: These are completely separate entities. Each has its own license so you can not work as a Landscape architect with a degree in architecture. Architects ! design structures with knowledge of land, drainage, sun, wind shear, human factors, structural elements, building material etc. Landscape architects design spaces (often with building placement but not the building) with knowledge of soils, winds, human factors, planting materials, human usage such as BBQs, pools, water features, walls, grading, pergolas, outdoor materials, conservation, land useage, etc. It is a 3 year + certificate or a degree program. UCLA has one in its extension program if you wish to see the courses. THey are both really rigorous courses....Show more
