Creating Public Spaces
The LSU School of Landscape Architecture
is one of the most respected landscape architecture programs in the nation,
and its graduates are working on every continent in the world. Landscape
architects create environments that meet complex social needs, are ecologically
sound, and aesthetically pleasing. LSU's students, faculty, and graduates
have helped establish ecotourism parks in El Salvador, restore important
cultural landmarks in Mexico, and create children's playgrounds in war-torn
Bosnia. Professor Sadik Artunc is working with the administration of Turkey
to improve water quality in Istanbul, a city of 750,000 residents. His
solutions include reforestation and wetland planting, and turning the
Elmali Dam area into a protected public park.
