Elements and areas of practice

Landscape architecture: Elements and areas of practice was developed by the Landscape Institute’s Education and Membership Committee with input from experts across the profession and following wide consultation.

The document describes in general terms what is involved in the day to day chartered practice of landscape architecture and the main broad areas of practice in the profession. The focus is on the main activities which might be undertaken by individuals in the early to middle stages in their career. The aim of the document is to be descriptive, not prescriptive – while the activities listed will be common to many, as in any profession the emphasis of work will differ from practitioner to practitioner.

The Elements and areas of practice will underpin and inform the LI’s work in a wide range of educational activities, including promoting careers in the profession, accrediting higher education programmes, and determining the requirements for achieving chartered status

A copy of the Elements and areas of practice is available here.
