Landscape architecture plays an important role in the expansion of all contemporary cities. The principles of landscape architecture are used in order to create open 'breathing spaces' so the city has some fresh air and does not look cluttered. Landscape architecture is taught in Thailand and is acknowledged as a profession offering professional qualifications at degree status.
If someone wants to work as a landscape architect in Thailand, then he or she has to have a bachelor's degree in landscape design from one of the two universities offering the course. Chulalongkorn University and Thammasart University turn out about 100 post graduates between them in landscape architecture every year.
Bangkok is home to most of Thailand's landscape architectural businesses. There are about thirty substantial firms and around eighty freelance landscape architects.Many of the post graduates want to continue their study or gain more experience abroad before settling down to work in Thailand. In order to work as a landscape architect in Thailand, one needs to obtain a license from Thailand's official Association of Architects.
The Thai Association of Architects plays an vital function in maintaining standards of landscape architecture. The Thai government, both local and national, make use of landscape architects to help with the design of such projects as highway development, inner city reconstruction and airport design. On a more understandable level, landscape architects are involved with the Royal Flora Expo in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand.
The Association of Architects in Thailand is a private organization but it works hand in glove with the Ministry of the Interior. It helps the government regulate four professions which can have an effect on the environment and one of these is the profession of landscape architecture. However, landscape design does not make up 25% of the Association's concerns. At 15% of the association's workload, it is fair to imagine that landscape design is under represented in Thailand.
The Association of Architects issues licenses to applicants based on the results of three concepts. These concepts are education, experience and examination. The principle of education is satisfied by gaining a BA in landscape architecture. Then the applicant has to provide evidence of work experience and finally, the association has its own examinations which the landscape architect also has to succeed in.
Landscape design is still in its infancy in Thailand. That is to say that, landscape architecture has merely recently started being applied to public developments. There have been landscape gardeners working on the gardens and palaces of rich Thais for centuries, just like in every other country with a more affluent ruling class.
Two of Thailand's most well-known landscape architects are Somwang Leevanjikul and Chanvudhi Varavam, both of whom have been used in substantial government projects in Thailand utilizing their skills in landscape architecture to create Thailand's cities and countryside a better looking place to be.
