The Glory of Landscape Architecture

Architecture really is an art. It involves so many principles and theories, and the thing is that it even involves the land around a structure. This is what’s called landscape architecture. This makes everything naturally beautiful. Even in urban environments, landscaping is very important since they include parks and all. Here are a few examples of landscape architecture that are famous all over the world.

Central Park

This park is located in New York in the United States. This has become one of the most popular landmarks of New York City (among many others like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Times Square).  This has become a National Historic Landmark ever since the 1960s. Central park is also known for its carriage horses, sports, entertainment, and playgrounds.

The Louvre courtyard

Everyone knows the Louvre as the museum in Paris that houses thousands of works of art. When you go to the Louvre, you can’t help but notice the long stretch of the gardens it has. This was actually once the royal palace up until King Louis XVI decided that he wanted a bigger palace and moved to the Palace of Versailles. It truly is a marvel in landscape architecture.
