Master of Landscape Architecture? (Non-design background)
Hi everyone,
I just finished my undergraduate degree in sociology/film studies/ cultural studies. Coming from a non-design background, I wanted to pursue a master's degree in landscape architecture. Originally I was planning to continue with film production and critical studies, but found it too repetitive (if not unrealistic) and now I wanted to materialize those abstract theories into practical usage.
I have been conducting individual studies on landscape architecture and urban design, trying to develop my own portfolio for grad school applications. However, I am not sure how far should I carry on with my research. ( i have absolutely zero knowledge of soil science or planting technology!) What do admission offices generally expect from applicants? It would really be great if anyone here could give me some advice.... Thank you so much.
Grad school portfolios are supposed to show your potential, not just your accomplishments. So don't sweat the soil science/planting tech/research - you will be learning that stuff and there is no expectation that you've mastered that stuff before applying. Show the admissions committees your personality and interests, not what you think they want to see.
good luck!
