Landscape architecture
Landscape architecture is a discipline and a profession that has its roots in garden art, a millennial tradition in designing gardens, parks, cemeteries, recreation areas and so on.
The subject's core aesthetic treatment of the terrain, plants and vegetation, water and hard coatings using the technology of the future, that is a cultural adaptation of natural, as this has been interpreted and understood through human history. In modern times, this has also included a cultural appreciation and preservation of the natural per se.
Today landscape architects promoted this as ecological and social considerations in the design and management of the environment as a sustainable landscape.
This is laid down in the European Landscape Convention, which entered into force in 2004.
