This is a genuinely exciting period in landscape and garden design worldwide with designers now possessed of a clear and urgent sense of purpose in the light of the global ecological situation counted with clients new-found awareness of their ecological responsibilities. In the past decade,architects, too,have become far more open to the concept of working in tandem with landscape designers, while from a commercial point of view,corporate, civic aria orivate ctients are now more likety to include a LandScape element as a signfficant aart of the budget in new design projects. Within the landscape profession itself,a fruitful tens on has arisen between those who now seek to include a clear ecotogical component in their methodology, and those who prefer to make reference to Nature through their own mode of artistic expression.
The urgency of the global ecological situation has made the first few years of the twenty-first century one of the most oroductive aeriods in lanoscaoe and garden deslg many decades. With greater sensitivity to climate cnange,both coroorate and anvate clents are committed to the creation of innovative outdoor soaces in cities in the country and in orivate gardens.
