Landscape Architects frequently work to transform areas that contain industrial and toxic waste, infrastructure no longer in use, or land affected by war, natural disaster, or disuse. These neglected places, while often harming the environment and surrounding community, are simultaneously part of our cultural heritage. Here, we’ve selected several of the most original and inventive landscape design examples worldwide for your inspiration, from urban to suburban, public spaces to private residences. A unique melting pot of art, architecture, and horticulture, landscape design is a design and art tradition in its own right and a continuing source of unique visual concepts and ideas.
Landscape Design focuses on the integrated master landscape planning of a property and the specific garden design of landscape elements and plants within it. Are you ready for a wonderful virtual trip around the world? So here are our favorites – enjoy!
