My high school has a construction class which I’m in currently and I really love it. I love creating things and seeing them come to life. My interests are building, plants, and the outdoors so landscape architecture sounds perfect for me. My yard at home has also inspired me to learn about landscaping because the design is extensive so my yard looks like a park. I help my parents take care of it all the time and I actually like doing the work. So much work was put into the design 20+ years ago and it still looks amazing. I would really like creating things people can enjoy for a long time. For a long time I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life but I think this is it.
Finally somebody with the same interests as minee, thank god i was losing faith 😂
@@klaudioballa3003 Things change, so now I’m interested in starting my own campground. Now that I think about it, the same interests would apply to that, the outdoors, designing the landscape of the campground, building cabins and such. That’s my new dream :)
@@april_ that sounds so interestinggg, hope you make it a reality 🤞🏼
i am a student from Taiwan major in landscape architecture
and i am very proud of study this profession, it is my pleasure.
Can I please have some advice on this profession?
林韋廷 Is this specialization in demand overseas? I am very much interested in working and studying landscape design overseas
Hi from Turkey!
I have done my bs in horticulture, would it be good option for me to do ms in landscape architecture?
@@ahmadzeb3607 As long as you do a 3 year one that has the introductory courses, it shouldn't be too hard and yes it's a good option for a hort bs to go landscape design.
I'm a student from Kenya. Passionate about Landscape architecture 📸
We highly recommend a career in the design fields. Most of our clients are professional designers. Bravo!
I'm an eighth grader this year and I I'm choosing my high school classes in a couple months. Really liked the video, this was super helpful in many ways!
you graduating now right? wow time flys
Same
Hope you become a landscape architect (if you still want to)
howd it go?
I am switching into Landscape Architecture and after seeing this I am quite excited to explore this field
I feel proud to work in the field even though I don't have a degree. I'm also doing architecture as well.
How did you get into the field without a degree? What programs do you use?
A video on Urban planning/Urban Design would be awesome!
Serena Suh We will certainly look into that!
Yes it would b good but landscape architecture can’t b ignored as it is much needed
@A a yess exactly ppl need to understand this whenever it’s about landscape architecture, they put architecture and urban planning instead like make no sense man
@A a no doubt I wish urban planners and architects would see this instead of making their own fields much important
Interesting video by Janice working in a high profile private landscape architectural company. For all of you high school students and perhaps disillusioned first year college students (honestly folks a degree in history or music appreciation does not pay the bills), the field of landscape architecture is a very rewarding vocation and profession to enter. It's takes hard work to learn and practice, but in the end when you are standing in front of that park, or waterfront, or college campus that you helped design and watching people enjoy using it everyday, it's all worth it. I would take issue with Janice on one item, Most important things in landscape architecture are the ability to convey your designs to your client and the public in graphic, verbal and written forms. People who must sign on the dotted line and fund your dream need to fully understand and buy into your dream, you need to move that dream into reality through your graphic, written and verbal skills. Good luck students from a 44-year long, licensed landscape architect......what a ride it's been.
@Richard Drum Thanks ! Great informative words !!
Hi, I'm a college student with 1 year of generals under my belt, I have been considering landscape architecture and am wondering what is the best path to pursue it. Is there a possibility of getting hired and being trained on the job without college? Is a regular architecture or design degree necessary, and also how much of the job is office work, and how much of it is visiting the work site?
Peter Fenter .........this is a long answer so I'm responding in two separate replies. First, nearly all if not all states in the United States require you to be licensed through a state board to both practice the profession of landscape architecture and to refer to yourself as a landscape architect in a public venue. Acquiring that license usually requires a 4 year degree from an accredited university and a few years experience under the mentorship of a practicing landscape architect and to take and pass the national LA licensing exam. Sounds like a lot but remember you will be designing outdoor structures, roadways, utilities and other features as a professional landscape architect that could pose a threat to people's health and safety. So taking the required classes at an accredited university is the pathway to get licensed and get a good paying job in a private practice office or in one of several Federal or state government agencies. Even the US Navy hires civilian landscape architects to do design at their bases, they are very cool people. The second replay will have another pathway.
Peter Fenter .........OK, so here is the second pathway to maybe attaining work as a landscape designer or just maybe a landscape architect. You need to find a well-established landscaping company that both designs and constructs landscapes including hardscapes, pools, fountains, parking lots, storm sewers and plant materials for residential, commercial and institutional locations. If that company has a landscape architect on the payroll doing design work, you might be able to be mentored as a landscape designer (not fully a landscape architect per se) and gain experience over time that might qualify you to take the national LA licensing exam, maybe, depends upon the state you are in and what their requirements are to take the test. Meanwhile if you are in college, I recommend that you take classes in biology, botany, horticulture, environmental sciences, and art (hand drawing), and become skilled in using computer aided design such as Sketchup to be better able to handle a job in the landscape industry and be trained there. It's hard work, but I enjoyed my time at a design/build landscape company where I honed my skills as a landscape architect, never understand your designs until you have to build them, ouch😳good luck Peter.
@@richarddrum9970 Awesome, thanks for all the info.
My grandfather who is a Civil Engineer told me that here in the Philippines people now don’t use architect’s since anyone can access pictures on internet and can easily tell what design of house they want to build… Then he told me he doesn’t want to discourage me from wanting to be a architect, but his point was right and also it was a good timing because I was struggling to pick a course in college since I was still not sure in architecture but then I realize I was really fond of nature and I like designing parks especially in roblox… So I was so happy that I finally found my career!!! I’m proud to say I’m a future Landscape Architect (Sorry for my bad english)
Good luck in your career!
I'm so excited , I finally found a possible career path that really interests me. I would like to know, are there enough demands for landscape architects, will I fiind a job after graduating ? I tried to search that , It's not very clear. I live in Montréal, Canada , I know its different from a country to another, but in general .
There is some info about jobs in Canada here: www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/qc/job_futures/statistics/2152.shtml You will have to do some deeper digging, though! Hope this helps.
I'm a graduate of University of Kentucky and everyone in my class had jobs right out of school. can't speak for everyone though. It's a great field to be in.
+tom tague What are some of the steps it took to get a job in landscape architecture?
@@tomtague2922 hi Tom, did you enjoy this major? I am just starting this in the fall and am still skeptical about it, but some insight would be nice.
Hey there, how are you? how did things turn out?
Yes, to the need of high school courses geared to design professions! As someone who has gotten into architecture, theater set design, and landscaping through the back door, my work in high school was garnering attention but there were no outlets for education leading to careers in these disciplines.
Love it! Amazing work. Beautiful office. What kind of table and lights do you use? People really recommend the Futura Table and Lumiy Draftsman LED task lamp.
That's great!I will forward out to let more people know!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Added to Landscape Architecture TV 💙
wow I love her office😮
great video Im gonna be a landscape designer I love it soon I will be in California for helping to make a best landscape in the world ...
Any recommendations books ? like the early stages of this career.
I think a landscape architectural degree would help me a lot now that I'm doing freelance work for a landscape design company. I'm have to learn about plants and irrigation.
I decided to take up Landscape architecture course in Poly.
How do you like it? Is it something you wish to pursue?
How are you doing, 4 years later?
How are you doing, 8 years later?
Is this specialization in demand overseas? I am very much interested in working and studying this overseas
She is beautiful
Pas mal cette vidéo!!!
Hello, I am a student at UCSB and plan to apply for landscape grad. I am wondering how Janice Nicol prepares for grad school since we don't have a design program here in UCSB :)).

I graduated with a visual arts bachelors what do I need to become an architect or landscape architect?
I'm a senior in high school and have taken drafting class and use auto cad. I'm really interested in this field

How long does it take to be an architect and degree requirements
+Fabricio Aguiar 5 years
what if I didn't take/have any classes that involved with landscape architect in high school ? will that affect me college ?
I am deciding to take Landscape architect or architecture. It's a tough decision!
Many high schools don't have programs that focus on specific careers. It's never too late!
She is gorgeous! Noticed she had no ring on her finger....fingers crossed
Youre into women?
600th like.
Qui regarde cette vidéo pour son cours d'Anglais?
Client always cut costs whenever possible.
what if you cant sketch? just give up now?
I can't draw...yet. But I am creative as hell. This is my dream job. Could I make it I wonder...
drawing is a skill that anybody can learn. Know that your drawings will be different than others you have seen and admired, but in your own style you can succeed. Look a lot at other work, practice all the time. With patience you can be an excellent illustrator.
Your classes will develop you into a sketcher
Pretty awful advice. Most important skills in Landscape Architecture are not big picture thinking but innovation and creativity in your designs whatever scale you are working on.
NO you are not the landscape architecture, you are just some grass manager.
