‘WHY LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS WILL BE KEY TO THE

FUTUE OF OUR CITIES?’

This article posted on Metropolis magazine, "Designing Outdoor Public Spaces is Vital to the
Future of our Cities". Kirt martin (the vice-president of design and marketing at outdoor furniture)
makes the case that landscape architects and industrial designers working in the public are key for
our cities' health and happiness.

He said that, Landscape architects practice a discipline in holistic thinking. They understand the
natural environment, the built environment, and the interface between them. And they are
ideally prepared to take leadership in shaping outdoor spaces and framing public awareness
about them. As a landscape architect, he focused on driving innovation with new types of
solutions that go beyond the standard litter bin and bench, to help people enjoy great outdoor
experiences.

The outdoors starts only a half-inch outside the door, so we need new ideas for spaces adjacent
to buildings. I completely agree with his views as nature contributes us to live healthier life. We
all design building and structures but with this if we contribute some to nature it will be beneficial
for us in terms of our health and even it complements the buildings.
