advice needed for masters degree program??
hello guyz....i am a fresh graduate completed my bachelor of architecture degree last year (2012)... i am now working as a junior architect in a prestigious design firm.
my father is a landscape designer and he runs a plant nursery having more than 40 years of experience.
he advise me to pursue a master of landscape architecture degree.... but we are not sure if i pursue masters immediately or gain some experince working as an architect first.....or whether i pursue M.LA or do my masters in architecture!!!??
i think of running a multi disciplinary firm offering architectural and landscape services in the future, for that what should i do at this moment of my career....stuggling to make up my mind, your advise would certainly help.
do i continue my job working as architect and pursue M.la after 1 or 2 years
or taking landscape experience from father and pursue a master of design degree in architecture?
I really don't think anyone is capable of advising you here. This one is VERY personal. Keep in mind that an MLA will still be 3 years, even with arch. - the only class you have in common is 1 site planning class, if that. Also, that arch degree you pursue could be an MS or an M.Arch 1 year (not accredited), since you have a B.Arch. And why are you interested in doing it if you have an accredited degree and are working at a good firm?
Some questions are: 1) what does your father know about the prospects in landscape architecture that we don't ...and we don't .... at least I don't, 2) what do you want to do, design buildings or design outdoor spaces, and 3) do you have the money, time, and energy for another ball-busting professional 3 year degree? Some things to think about. We don't have the answers. I, too, came real close to going 3 year MLA (easier per term load, local, in-state, and good practically at my doorstep) but went 3+ year M.Arch. because a relative said "But you've always been interested in designing buildings." That said, both are interesting fields.
