Landscape Architect



The job that I am doing is a Landscape Architect.  The envorment around the work area is either nature or a building.  For education\training you have to have 4 to 5 years of a college degree in landscape architecture (required).  The career category this job falls under is home contsruction and desgin.  The job outlook of a Landscape Designer is they meet with the client at the spot of work and talk about how much space they have to work with, and once they dicuss it the architect draws the plans for the design by hand or by using LandCADD (program for technology drawing of the layout).  The average salary they make is $63,000.  Personally I somewhat, maybe see myself going toward this job.  I find it interseting as a job that a person would do.

Housing Life Cycle Project

 
 
At age 14 I think this house is a good choice because it fits all of my family’s needs.  The ideal description of this house is it has wide open spaces in the house.   My mom loves having open spaces so everything is not so close together.   It has 4 bedrooms and 2 & 1.5 bath.  It has 2,388 square feet, and was built in 2006.  Has enough room for my mom, dad, sister and myself also a guest if someone was going to stay with us for a period of time.   Its provides safety, shelter, storage, and give you a place to sleep and keep your food. 

At age 21 I believe that this will be a good place for me to live.  I think that it fits all of the physical and psychological needs we talked about in class.  One bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, dining room,  living room and two closets.  It has enough space for me and if I had a boyfriend he could live in there with me so I wouldn’t have to pay the rent all by myself.  It fits all the needs and that is why it would be a good place for me when I am 21.

I think that at age 41 this house will fit all of my family’s needs such as safety, shelter, place to sleep, storage, and place to keep food.  It also fits all of the psychological needs.  Psychological needs are privacy, identity, creativity, and love and belonging.  This home has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 partial, and enough garage space for all of us if we needed it. 

For age 71 I think this is a good place for me to be.  I think that it is a good place because it provides shelter, some storage, safety, and a place to keep your foods you don’t starve.  It provides most of the psychological needs such as privacy, and love and belonging.  It has one bed and one bath. It has just enough space for me and my husband.  Plus it doesn’t have all of this open space to make you feel lonely.
