Landscape.is… Permanent

It is easy enough to roughly gage the age of a building by its style or the degree of wear and tear that it shows, however, this is not usually the case with a landscape. The trees you see beside buildings are often much older than the buildings themselves and the land the building presides on was there long before and will likely be there long after the building. Bearing these things in mind will enable you as a Landscape Architect to look for the long term possibilities in your designs and discover their full potential. Remember that the great artists only usually gained recognition after their deaths.
