Brad Smith of Seferian Design brings us behind the scenes on the landscape architecture work that he has done within the GTA. This is a really exciting episode for us as we get to tour Waterloo park as it is being renovated.

Brad believes that being a landscape architect has to be the best job out there. He explains how the work is an art of bringing a multitude of different skills and professionals together to be able to create a space that is inviting, beautiful, and functional.

I've been drawing and dreaming since I could hold a pencil. I have a passion for the outdoors and an intense intertest in aesthetic design and sustainability. I wish I would have known where to begin years ago to do this sort of work, unfortunately I am 48 years old now and don't know how long schooling like this would take. It must be so satisfying 🌱

I found this video looking for motivation to not fail my LA Design course.

I am good at space planning but I really do want my creativity to be awaken with regard to designing from out of the box. But don’t know how can I awaken this superpower deep within…

Appreciate the video! I'm currently a Geospatial Science major minoring in Urban Planning/Geodesign and GIS/Spatial Analysis, but I'm thinking about using my remaining credits learning CAD and some basic design classes. What's the prevailing opinion on if someone with more of a GIS background can break into landscape architecture post graduation?

How much can you expect for a starting salary of a recent MLA grad?

North Americans we gotta just copy and paste Japanese ideas, nothing we do looks as good

Calling oneself a super hero for being a landscape architect is pretty absurd.
