landscapearchitecture:

There is a major disconnect between the life of a design student and the transition to being a design professional.

I think this is very true of the Landscape Architecture industry (and I’m sure many others).

To demystify the transition, we share the failures, successes, and surprises during our years in college and progression into the field: the creative process, monetary problems, internships, interviews, mistakes, and personal relationships. We include the work from our first design class to our most current client work, along with side stories and interviews from our mentors, teachers, and peers. This book will serve as the ultimate companion for design students, educators, and anyone breaking into a creative field.
