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?!
