“In urban areas, developers are looking to bring more green into their spaces,” says Levy. “In addition to courtyards and lawns, this can mean rooftop gardens and other environmental initiatives that make a building look better while helping to cut fuel costs by conserving heat and other resources. Additionally, the state’s open space initiatives have helped generate more design work for us.”
The federal Department of Labor (DOL) reports that more than 26 percent of all landscape architects are self-employed—three times the average for most professions. The DOL also says employment opportunities for landscape architects are expected to increase “faster than the average” for all occupations through the year 2014.
That’s partly because new construction must increasingly comply with environmental regulations, zoning laws and water restrictions, driving demand for landscape architects who can plan sites that meet these requirements while integrating them with the environment in the least disruptive way. In addition, landscape architects are getting more involved in preserving and restoring wetlands and other environmentally sensitive sites.
Landscape architects also help to determine the best arrangement for new roadways by giving advice about the accompanying topography, vegetation, walkways and other landscaping details. Federal programs, including the Transportation Equity Act for the Twenty-First Century, are expected to spur employment for landscape architects by providing state and local governments with more funds for surface transportation and transit programs—and their related landscape elements.

- 都市開発業者などが造園家の職能に対して要求を高めていること
- 2014年まで造園家の需要は他の職業の平均よりも高くなること。（DOL）
- 今後の建設事業においては、環境関連の法律や資源保護、湿地保全や自然再生などを行う必要があり、そのために造園家が必要とされること。
- 中央政府事業についても、地形や植生、景観美などへの配慮がより重要になり、造園家の雇用を必要とすること。

私がやるべきこと
返信削除始めまして。名ばかりの一級建築士、３６歳の女性です。
��年間休業し、テレビでドキュメントなど観て、他の優れた建築士の方が行っていない、私がするべき仕事を模索しています。
自然と共存していた時代に少しでも戻ることができたら良いなと考えていているのですが、何から始めたらよいかわからず、やっと環境関係のＮＰＯのお手伝いを少しだけ始めました。
自然環境回復に向け、即効性のあるプロジェクトを実施できたらよいなと思っています。
コメントありがとうございます
返信削除コメントありがとうございます。
環境教育などで「聞いたことは忘れる。見たことは思いだす。体験したことはわかる。発見したことは身に付く」という言葉がよく用いられてるそうです。
そういう意味で、NPOの手伝いなど体験を通して次のステップが見えてくるとよいですね。
お互いがんばりましょう！
