Notable Quotes:
● Immediately when people think landscape, they think of plants. And that is a part of landscape architecture, but it's more than plants. Landscape architecture can be master planning, regional planning, um, site planning, um, all sorts of planning.
● What people often don't understand is they'll look at a structure, and what they see before they see the structure is they see what's in front of it. They see the site. And so that kind of partially informs their view of the whole thing.
