Public Open Space
Landscape
architects and garden designers work on similar
projects
, although there can be considerable blurring.
The simplistic view is that garden designers work primarily
on spaces that are private, whereas landscape
architects tend to work on places and spaces viewed
or used by the wider public. The needs and demands
on the spaces are different.
Of course this is far too simplistic, but can be a guide
Taken in the Vigeland Sculpture Arrangement gardens, Oslo, Norway,
this view of the visitors shows a bit how the view can change under
different conditions....
