What Is Landscape Architecture?
Landscape architecture is about creating compelling outdoor commercial designs, from structures to landmarks, parks, and other spaces.
The goals of the built environment are multifaceted, but the design build should be functional, appealing, community-driven, and safe.
It’s no wonder then that landscape architecture combines engineering, architecture, landscape design, and art.
The benefits of landscape architecture include:
Suitable for Multiple Environments
Landscape architecture suits urban design or suburban environments.
The versatility of the projects is certainly a part of what makes them attractive.
Makes a City or Town More Appealing
Planning to add more green space is a surefire way to drive up the appeal of a city or town.
The area will have more desirable landmarks that people will want to see. The extra tourist income can bolster the local economy.
Brings More People Outside
Spending quality time outdoors has myriad health benefits, from lower anxiety and depression due to vitamin D exposure to higher-quality sleep and focus.
Adding places like parks, streetscapes, and other such green areas will ensure the public can get their outdoor time.
Valuable Third Place
With rising costs, people appreciate third places more than ever.
These are places that are free or low-cost and allow people to spend time that aren’t homes or workplaces.
Commercial landscape architecture services from SunCo can carve out more of these spaces.
