Landscape to Architecture

[nca]

Has anyone gone from Landscape Architecture to a masters in Architecture? Or something of the sort?

In hindsight, what are your thoughts on the transistion from one to the other as far as work process, etc?

Thanks

This is a direction that I would like to pursue. I hope to hear good thinks.
Thanks for the discussion forum.

I’ve heard varied opinions on the subject of continuing on with a masters in architecture from Landscape. Most have suggested it would not be worthwhile for various reasons. It’s difficult to make a good judgement when the people you ask have the most inflated egos on the planet. I just think I’d like to have a broader range to work within rather than be relegated to just one area- inside or outside the walls. Architectural spaces have always fascinated me just as much as outdoor spaces. The only thing holding me back is that I want to start working, stop accumulating debt, and get on with the work. In short, I feel a little old to continue with even more school and the financial reward may not be congruous with the time and effort.

Nick,
Find a copy of a book called Architect? A Candid Guide to the Profession. I kind of wish I’d read this book before I went into LA, since a lot of what the author says is relevant to LA’s as well as architects.
Even after reading it, I think I’d still like to have both degrees, but, unfortunately, I squandered my youth (and available money from parents) getting two bachelors degrees.
