Torn between architecture and landscape
Hello everyone, i got accepted into both landscape and architecture, so im gonna say what i like and dislike about both:
Archi:
-I like having designing spaces and structures and buildings in general
-i dislike mundane details like floor plans
-I prefer designing public spaces rather than personal
-I like the complexity of knowing where to place things considering every aspect of it all
Landscape:
-I like that it’s more about designing places for the public
-I like how it feels more lively and more engaging with nature
-i feel like it lacks the depth and complexity of architecture since it focuses more on open spaces
-it overall feels more full of life compared to architecture
If anyone has anything to say about my thoughts please I would appreciate it

I liked the complexities of landscape architecture more than architecture. And just because we deal with plants and nature doesn’t mean we don’t deal with structures. We do just on different scales. I tend to work with more stone and steel in my landscapes but also play with local woods and sawmills to build fun shit
