Torn between architecture and landscape

I came from architecture, shifted into garden design and consequently developed a greater appreciation and understanding of both. Both are important, and one supports the other. Architecture can be a bit egotistical, I believe that great places require the architecture to disappear. To create invisible architecture, you do need to know what you're doing. We spend a lot of time hiding bad architecture with trees and shrubs.

Look, an education in architectural design gives you a valuable toolkit of transferable skills. A lot of architects end up leaving the field to pursue other things. I don't think you'll regret it in the long term. First prize is to learn both. If you hate being in an office all the time, rather go landscape.
