Your video sums up the major very well! As someone who came from a community college, I had an easier time to focus on my classes and finish some minors since I had already finished all the GE's. If you are coming into the major straight out of highschool, I highly recommend taking GE classes over summer/winter so you have a lighter load in the fall and spring semesters. Studio classes are extremely taxing and I've seen a lot of my classmates struggle trying to balance everything. I hope this video reaches out to the students considering to join or transfer to the major! I have had many students question their choices in the major by the time they're well in their 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th year and by that time it would be difficult to change to something else. Thank you for this!
After a 40+ years stint with a federal agency as a licensed landscape Architect I can truthfully state that all of the long nights and weekends completing projects at school was worth every minute. It’s not an easy curriculum and takes lots of creative thinking and some drawing skills although most everything is computer graphics now (wasn’t in 1970), but it allows the student to imagine a new world and design it and hopefully build parts of it.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication that has changed our world, even if people may not recognize it.
@@rileyyee2304 my pleasure, I hope more young people chose LA as their career, we need creative and imaginative people to shape our world while protecting its natural resources.
Anotherrrrr one 👌🏼I miss you Riley !
i used to think this problem between university and work is something that only exists in my country (iran). now you mentioned it and the question is: why can't they just teach us what we need to learn???😐
Thank you for this. Idk anymore. Landscape isn't my dream. But the classes were fun and it seems like an important career. In real life I want to be a writer but this looks stable. Or it could be. Idk anymore.
Thay part wher it explains about “progress” is the priority before getting into this field. Some students can keep up with it and some may just ‘fck it, imma turn it in like this…’…
Thanks
man i am so scared, how are architecture courses so hard to get into in hong kong, that's crazy, I am now in an associate degree in environment and interior design cuz there is only one landscape architecture course offers by universities, and it's damn hard to get into. soon I'll be so lost on the path tryna to be a landscape architect. wish me luck guys.
best of luck, you got this!
Get that bread!
Family business is Lawn maintenance and some landscaping, we really wanna up our landscaping game. Do you think this would be a proper route for myself to go into?
Am in between graphic design and landscape architecture
Which specific skills are you using that you learned from school? AutoCad and what else?
It looks like you have a lot questions about work after graduating from the landscape program. Like I said in the video, there are some people who decided not to take a "landscape" job or jobs that have nothing to do with the major. But the knowledge gained through the major can apply to any job that includes people and the environment. The knowledge I'm referring to is not just programs, mainly because school barely teaches you programs, but the application of the ideology behind design and how we can physically sculpt the world to make it a better place. If you're very focused on just learning the programs then this might not be the major for you. And for the programs I still use, none of them. Maybe some adobe programs in free time but I don't use them for work.
Great
you're welcome, if you'll excuse me, I need sleep
Thanks This Helped a lot - Im a BFA in Graphic design and I feel Im getting DRAINNED want to study LA. do u thing the transition is okay for masters in LA
I think if you like doing graphic design then you'll probably like doing landscape architecture stuff. But if you're just feeling drained I recommend a vacation to somewhere new or set aside some time on what makes you happy.
I'm literally in graphic design right now thinking of switching to landscape architecture but I can't decide
@@fen6901 I recommend doing some landscape exercises like creating site plans and sections of your yard to see if you'd enjoy that type of work.
what exactly is the name of the class when applying after high school for cal poly Pomona?
Sorry i havent been around to do comments. This might be kinda late but the major will provide information through a career advisor and give you a road map of which classes to take. I believe this is how most majors do it.
can you please suggest which universities offering landscape architecture for diploma
I'm pretty sure any major college provides the program but I can not recommend other colleges since I don't know how their program works. I suggest looking into the colleges you would like to go to then see if their landscape program is up to your standard.
Do you think it is will be difficult having no experience in these programs and not being an artist??
Yes.
Any suggestions for my thesis dissertation?
I've never had to write one but maybe the history of water supply in southern California and how Los Angeles infrastructure effects current water demands. or something like that.
Are CPPLA students required to complete an internship before graduation?
no.
@@rileyyee2304 thanks!
The image right at 6:00 what is the location??
That is the James Goldstein house in LA. You might recognize it from magazines or movies. You can also take a tour there.
@@rileyyee2304 thanks so much!!
What are you doing now? Since you didn’t get into it, Is it still landscape architecture?
Its not technically landscape but it uses some of the knowledge I've gained through the major. Some of my friends from the major are not doing landscape because they grew tired of it like I did or just found more favorable work somewhere else. And the people I know who do work for landscape companies complain about low pay and a demanding environment.
Riley Yee What knowledge are you specifically using?
@@TechVHD There's a lot more to it than that. If you want to talk about it dm me and we can set up an appointment or something
@@rileyyee2304 What about it did you grow tired about?
@@velojames15 During school i felt very burnt out on the work i did because it was a constant grind on diagrams that needed countless renditions along side with my other classes. The studio culture normalizing loosing sleep just to meet deadlines. The thought in the back of my mind knowing how company cultures over work and under pay employees. Recently I applied and got an interview at a landscaping design company in long beach but they offered me minimum wage for a designer position so you could say I’m a little tired of it. Don’t get me wrong its a very good field of study and there’s lots of people who make good careers of this profession but I prefer something else.
LA can be exciting. Also can be a boring desk job... bleh
What do you mean by boring?
