I am currently a (later in life) 2nd degree Bachelors of Horticulture student who wants to get into landscape design as a second career. I just found the draftscapes website and CZcams channel. My Hort degree is completely online as I am a working adult who lives far out in the country, not in driving distance of any colleges. Because I cannot be an in-person student, my degree choices were limited. I was unable to find a fully online landscape design degree. I am having to search out other options and this website is SO VERY HELPFUL. I hope Mr. Tuccio will add to it when he is able. I would like to understand more on the different types of designs a landscape designer is responsible for knowing and completing, what they are called and how to draw them. Perhaps it will be in one of the other videos and the title just doesn't say that. Any and all information about hand drafting is important for me. Thank you so much for the website and video content already on here. It is amazing and has given me hope to learn this amazing creative field!

So it sounds like Landscape Architects are engineers, while Landscape Designers are artists.

Free apps?

Rhino and arcGis?

Thank you

what design program are you using?

Ok silly question, but how can i use them to make repeated curves all the same without a graduation markings? Or a mirrored curve? Thanks

Super informative, especially for those joining from other industries 😊

Excellent job explaining everything, thank you!🙂🙏

❤thank you!!

I would definitely recommend both as a double degree. But as a landscape architect who has worked in practice, sole practice and academia, I would most definitely recommend students veer towards architecture. Architecture is valued by the market far far more sadly, and that parlays into fees, professional respect, and a general sense that an architect is far more specialised and valuable. And that goes for architects from the top briefs type through to the suburban type, whereas outside the rock-star group of LAs, and the guns that clearly above the pack (few and far between), landscape design (civic) is seen as something anyone can do. (It’s not, but I’m talking about public and client perspective) An architect ‘doing’ external space design has far more respect… thus the recommendation for double degree, or even as an architect doing additional studies

I seen a perspective grid but didn't understand why when you could just use the vanishing points by themselves, but now I understand that it makes it faster to draw cubes and other shapes and it makes it possible to measure objects in perspective.

Where are you this days I always follow your video

Would like to see how to draw parallel curves.

I’ve never seen anyone use the curves inside the tool.

I have a bachelors degree in cs. But I want to get a landscape architect license what’s the best way. I have a landscaping company

Thanks so much for this video. Very informative!

Rotring 300 works as any when using stencils rulers etc,however,when used by itself for free drawing,it's by far the worst,most imprecise pencil,I've ever seen. It's not expensive,it's the cheapest Rotring leadholder,however,the Faber Castell TK9400/TK4600 models,that cost half the price if not less,have the best performance of all the pencils,on both free or technical drawing.

Indoor landscaping is apart of landscape design?

I have a degree in Civil Engineering, I'm curious if you think I could change career paths fluidly? I understand that if I wanted an Architect title I'd need to go through a masters program and follow through with all the certifications and apprenticeships you mentioned. But I am hoping I could transition to a designer position without having to start as entry level. I do have an extensive knowledge of horticulture as well as land grading.

I am following a landscape design course and we use Vectorworks Landmark to make digital designs with, beside making manual drawings on paper. The main drawback is that it is not even sure if I ever going to use this software as a small independent designer/gardener after the study, because of the high price (lifetime licenses will not be even issued anymore from 1-1-'24 onwards). Can you tell a bit more in a future video about which software to use?

Wow! So cool! Thank you!

Shared your video on Landscape Architecture TV. Thanks.

How would you color render the basic variation?

Do i need Science background for become a landscape architect..

Thank you very much for this. It was really helpful!

How do you open the opportunity for an internship, where you have the ability to work alongside a landscape architect, or designer, as an assistant to them, in order to get hands on experience and training?? I am a horticulture student in my final semester looking to get some hands on experience before I go forward with my bachelors in the future. I can't afford the tuition and time for the bachelors right now, maybe in the next 2 years I will. Thanks!!

This is the best explanation of how to do a grid by far!

Hello any new advice on software? Have you heard of "The Landscape Library" (Autocad) bundle? How do you compare this with Vectorworks?

I can't for the life of me find a French curve set without bevelled edges...

Not easy or quick. Took me forever to find a calculator with arctan. Also I'm very confused. The way I've seen is (height/distance)x100 to get incline percent. So I have 60cm height, 6m distance= 10% incline... but when I did it your way I got 5.7% incline. Also I have rise, slope, and degrees on my triangle, and have no idea which one to use. Please help? I have 1 more day to figure this out. :(

what about realtime landscape design?

Hi Chris, Thank you for the informative video. I studied Industrial Design at the bachelorette level in uni but right now I wish to go into Landscape architecture. would you recommend this and how feasible is this?

This is the only video on using a French curve in English

Thank you!! Helped tremendously!

Excellent great list, thanks! I would like to add the information, that there are alternatives to Autocad, that will do the same (even use the same DWG Format) for a considerable less amount of money, in case anyone wants to go that route. Examples are: Draftsight, Bricscad, CorelCad, Highdesign. Some of this are even very similar in use to Autocad because they are trying to get the clients that can't pay Autocad but are already familiarize to the software. And for Photoshop there is Affinity Photo as an alternative, a lot cheaper.

Hello, thank you for this video. I have a question, I already have a degree in an unrelated find but I’ve realized that I would like to consider a career in landscape architecture. How does someone who already has a bachelors degree get this experience without having to go through a 4 year program from scratch? Thanks.

First, thank you for this video it was very informative and helpful. Question though- if you are using the 20 side and you want a 60 ft line, would it not be drawn from 0 to the 3, not the 6? I was confused at the 8 min 30 sec mark in the video. If you can please confirm, it would be greatly appreciated!

I study landscape design and I want to ask can I become a landscape architect after my degree?

Can an architect be a landscape architect

horticulture bsc is enough or other architectural degree is needed

How can you reproduce the same curve, as there are no reference markings on the curves itself?

Thank you 💚

Hi there.. how can I contact with you I have questions..

How do you mirror curves for symmetrical designs?

I found your tutorial series to be super useful to get right into drawing trees in plan. I followed along with pen and paper and found it to be very rewarding. I did that a while ago so I've forgotten by now but I'm getting back into it so I downloaded them with jDownloader download manager and plan to use them to review and draw at least (1) oak and (1) pine everyday. Ever since I moved to northern California, I see them all over the place and I'll have no excuses for not completing my goal of drawing My Favorite Oak and My Favorite Pine.

Thanks you are a real drafter
