Louisiana Landscapes

The School of Landscape Architecture at Louisiana State University believes that the rich cultural heritage and physical setting of Louisiana and the Lower Mississippi Delta region provide an invaluable resource for the study of landscape architecture. Our location on the Gulf of Mexico places us centrally in a region encompassing the Southern United States, Central and South America and the Caribbean. This geographical orientation informs our perspective and we believe that the investigation of this shifting and fluid context will result in the construction of frameworks useful for the study of landscape architectural issues that can have both local and global import.
