What is landscape architecture?

What is landscape architecture? In Malaysia, why do people always associate landscape architecture with gardeners or 'tukang tanam pokok'? People misunderstand the profession and importance of a Landscape Architect. Not all Malaysians understand or even know what landscape architecture is all about. Even some of our 1st year students joined this course, not knowing what landscape architecture is all about.

I may write about this later but for now, I am sharing this youtube video about what is landscape architecture. It was uploaded on 2008. Filmed as part of the Landscape Institute's "I want to be a landscape architect" campaign, twelve top landscape architects describe their unique profession.
