If you have no idea what a Landscape Architect does then read this for an overview....
The idea of landscape is also discussed in the new edition of Topos
"All around the world people associate

of oil sands extraction in Canada, the mining of ore in Papua or large-scale
afforestation in China..."
– Editor Robert Schafer in the latest
Edition of Topos
