Landscape Architecture

 I believe that the value of in landscape design lies in the awareness of strong connection to the community, ecological processes and the culture and the realization that these are connected in a web of life.  The value in design is founded on a commitment to the community land , its integrity and processes and should assist in the fulfillment of  human needs  and experience through creation of environments that are just socially and supportive[1]. As a landscape architect, I am grounded firmly on personal ethos based on responsibility which involves enhancing a moral commitment to the duty of developing landscapes where humanity can pursue happiness when life prevails. Landscape architects should cultivate an understanding about diverse ideas and values held by everyone about landscapes[2]. Therefore, the inspiration wrought by landscape architecture goes beyond pretty garden to include with various challenges in the community. My skills in design and interests in severe challenges facing our cities as the country’s economies change from industrial to service-based   have informed my drive to become a landscape architecture. Places such as Tongva Park + Ken Genser Square have really inspired me. In my first five years of practice, I would like to see myself as an accomplished urban planner.
