A landscape architect, also known as a professional landscape architect or PLA, takes an oath to preserve the health, safety and welfare of the public. Austin touts a dozen more than our fine city.

#SAN ANTONIO LANDSCAPE DESIGN FULL#
Full disclosure: I am a landscape architect and know intimately how vital the profession is to our community.Īccording to the state licensing board the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners, San Antonio is home to 81 registered and emeritus landscape architects, a responsible number given the size of our city. With the stroke of a pencil, landscape architects can morph the shape of any place or space, from the Alamo Master Plan to a neighborhood park. Landscape architects play a large role in shaping the future of our city. Search for social media posts tagged #WLAM2017 and scores of photos can be found from around the world marked with a green box noting “This is Landscape Architecture.” Last year, Landscape Architects uploaded more than 5,000 images onto social media platforms, reaching more than 4 million people, all to promote the profession and connect the term “landscape architecture” with the spaces that everyone enjoys. April is World Landscape Architecture Month and San Antonio’s landscape architects are joining in the celebration by posting images of their favorite designed spaces.
