Another genius question asked by my lecturer.....guess it keeps me thinking.
Well i think this is a debatable question amongst everyone, as everyone may want something different in a garden. But as a designer i have to look beyond what i want, and see what everyone wants. I guess i would have to say the most important function of a garden is that it serves to the user/owner's needs. It is kinda broad. But if you didn't get what you wanted out of something which you needed, then why would you want to be in that space/place....you would just feel uncomfortable.
How would you define the difference between landscape architecture and garden design?
A question my lecturer has given us to ponder over....thanks! How can i answer this question effectively, and give a good reasonable answer?! Currently still learning and trying to understand the meaning of these individually is quite a struggle. Everytime i think i've got the answer and come up with my own interpretation or definition for these titles, i get hit in the head by someone else's thoughts. Well let me try....this blog may be changed in the future....but for now, is coming from the top of my head so dont judge!
Hmmm......
Well Garden Design i personally think, is creating a space which is linked to a building or house. It can be of a small, medium or large scale but is defined by a definate boundary. Garden design focuses on the aesthetics, the sense and feel of the place, the uses and needs of the space, and how it connects the space with the owner/user.
Landscape Architecture takes Garden Design under its wing, almost like Garden Design is one small fragment of Landscape Architecture. Landscape Architecture exceeds the boundaries and stretches to unlimitless sizes. Almost every landscape would have been influenced by man in some way. Whether it be completely man made or inhabited by man at some point and has just adapted over time. But Landscape Architecture is how we have and how we do shape and design a space which may or not be defined by a boundary; whether it is done with intentions or not.
But hey....tomorrow maybe i'll see this in a different light?!

Part one of the greatest story ever told!
Hey...
My name is Robert, or as most of my friends call me Rob or Bob. I am 23, and currently live in Essex, England. I am currently studying my second year in Bsc Landscape Architecture at Writtle College. I am enjoying it very much, learning a lot, and meeting some amazing people and some lifetime friends on the way. I also work part time as a lifeguard at my local leisure centre, which i have done for the past 6 years.
I dont really know how i ended up here at Writtle, i guess my life just led me here. After finishing secondary school, i went to college and did a BTEC National Diploma in Sport. I then had a year out, to work and travel a little before going to Essex University in Colechester to study Bsc Sports Science. I studied for the first year, but didnt really enjoy this.....mostly the science side of things. I then started studying with the Open University; Computer Design. I also worked in a secondary school as a Learning Support assistant whilst studying. Though after time i found working and studying difficult, so i stopped studying and continued to work. I worked at the school for 2 years, and loved it. Part of me always has wanted to be a teacher so i had a good insight into this. After time, and getting older....i thought it was time to move on and find a career that i could do well in and enjoy. My inspirations i guess that made me start my current education, was probably my dad as he is a gardener, and i grew up helping him. Also, i have always had a passion for art, drawing and designing. So yeah.....guess thats why i am here in this situation now. I gets thats about all i have to write. I'm only doing this blog thing because my teacher asked me to.....thanks Tim!
