with sensibility & knowledge conclusion knowledge & established formal methods landscape is feeling & experience raise & educate future generations + strong emotions & sensibility for life, heritage & world arround us Everyone can not be a landscape architect. From the earliest childhood, we (experts, parents, teachers ) have to recognize, encourage and raise future landscape architects with strong emotions and sensibility for life, heritage and world arround us. Then, valuable landscapes and benefits of landscape interventions will be omnipresent. Photos: Family album, Darija Perković
