i supose (imagine) who is inside these pages know about Pietro Porcinai ( http://pietroporcinai.net/pages/1 ). he is one among the most important landcape designer, renowned as one of the most outstanding Italian landscape architect of the twentieth century.
By his words:
“Most architects have abandoned – out of cowardice or for money – the world of things built in harmony with nature, giving way to the birth of ugly towns and horrible suburbs. It’s up to the landscape architect to find a way of remedying this.But it requires a landscape architect capable of reflection prior to action. […]”
my most important teacher was coming from the “school of porcinai” and his way to work in the landscape is really something of special.
i think that the most important fact isnt the qualification (designer, architect, ing., professor, ecc ecc) but -simpler- the level of knowledge of the plants and theis main features and above all the passion and love for this job.
in my experience i have met several time incredible wrong applications …
… but the speech should become so long, too long…
