Subject: Applying for M.Arch. in landscape
During my early studies I had no clue about architecture. But I knew, I had strong feeling that I wanted
to do something creative, something out of the box. My passion for arts was identified by my parents
when I was in 6th class. I chose to pursue architecture and joined college of architecture. I soon realized
that yes, this is what which will make me satisfied and give eternal joy. My interest in sketching
sceneries is also in line with the study of landscape architecture.
Landscape architects (or landscape designers) plan, design and manage open spaces and aim to provide
aesthetically pleasing urban and rural environments. They can work on a variety of projects from
designing parks and green space, to gardens and sports sites or improving construction sites.
I find myself comfortable to mix with the people of different cultures. I can interact with them and adjust
myself with the people of different taste, sentiments and cultures.
I remember my teacher told me in the second year of B Arch, that unless you put a function to your
creation – it’s not architecture, it’s just visual art. In addition to my academic activities, I am very active
in many fields like sports, photography etc. I am a state level handball player. I have also participated in
many extra curricular activities events in my Architecture College and received certificates and prizes
for Photography competition at the Inter College Level.
With the pace for urbanization and development, the free green lands are being use for construction of
buildings, roads, bridges, etc. This is decreasing the greeneries in cities, particularly in Mumbai, India,
the greenery is reducing at a much faster rate. This provides ample of scope for Landscape architects to
plan the city, accommodate more space for the greeneries.
My professor also suggested me to choose a landscaping firm for my professional practice after seeing
my design folio. I started taking keen interest in learning the details of landscape. I realized that my core
efficiency lies in the field of landscaping rather than in any branch of architecture.
My first professional understanding of landscaping architecture was with Ar. Akshay Kaul during my
professional practice in 4th year. Seeing my keen interest in landscaping he took interest in my learning.
He also posed great confidence in me for taking independent assignment while I was a mere trainee.
This gave me more confidence to sharpen and show my creativity.
This period of learning has boosted my inter-personal skills and knowledge in the sphere of Landscape
architecture. This has helped me to gain exposure, insight and knowledge and experience with the real
time work environment.
At college, besides regular studies, I had participated in NASA 2017-2019, held in Gwalior and NASA
Annuals held in Jaipur, organizing social events etc. Participation has always increased my confidence
and nurture my skills. Also during occasional and educational tours across the country organized by my
college I had the opportunity to see several architectural wonders of India. Also had the privilege to
have one to conversation about architecture & practice with famous Ar. Yatin Pandya, Ar.B.V.Doshi,.
These events, tours and participations helped me a lot to gain the concept of working in, with and as a
team.
After completing my degree of bachelor’s I started exploring in net for university of International repute
in the field of Landscape architecture for my Master’s degree. After due search, I could know about your
esteemed university and convinced after reading your brochure that your university would be a right
destination for pursuing my masters in Landscaping. The diversity of the highly qualified faculty, nature
of courses offered, the art Infrastructure and the chance to interact and learn with distinguished and
learned professionals have influenced my decision to apply to your university. And I am sure that your
university would increase my knowledge, passion and creativity. Finally, I decided to pursue my Master’s
degree in Landscape architecture at your esteemed university.
I am applying to your University after viewing the course curriculum provided by your University. The
facilities available in your department complement my research interests and requirements, I believe
that being a part of your department would not only enhance my career opportunities, but will also help
me to realize my maximum potential. Thus, I feel that as a Masters student at your department, I can
avail myself numerous exciting and learning opportunities.
I look to pursue Master’s study to upgrade my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I believe it
will also serve to give direction to my career goal as a Landscape professional at an academic or
commercial, research-oriented organization. I intend to pursue a Masters in Landscape architecture in
order to reach that goal. As I evolve as a student of architecture I feel the need to know more. Hence I
wish to dive deeper into the process of creating and learning. Learning has no end and I want to learn
more to strengthen my skills. I wish to one day go back to my own neighborhood and redesign local
community parks, playgrounds, and public use facilities to re-invent a new environment and forge a
better future. I am also seeking to broaden my artistic capabilities suitable to this delicate profession.
In conclusion, I find that your University offers the required conditions needed to achieve my goals in
life. The work experience, research or training that I will acquire during the course of this program will
help me to get a head start in my career and it is this magnetism that has attracted me to your
University. I look forward to being a strong addition to your department. I hope that this brief statement
has given you a better idea of my abilities, experience and interests. I am very confident that if I get an
opportunity to be a part of your university, I am sure that my talents will be put to optimal use.
