Landscape architecture is the art and science of shaping the land for people to use and enjoy. The land provides the context for the objects placed upon it, such as buildings, roads, parks, and courtyards. Understanding the relationship of these objects to the land and to each other is the work of the landscape architect. Each project is unique - not only due to the client and desired use, but also due to the location upon the land. Each site has its own opportunities and constraints. The same objects can be placed on two different sites and different results will occur.
