This page also includes figures who are better known as landscape gardeners, landscape designers, architects, surveyors or engineers, particularly those from the 18th century who practised before the term 'landscape architect' was coined. Landscape architecture was also differentiated as a profession in the United States earlier than in other parts of the world so this ambiguity has persisted to the present day; in much of Europe, for example, landscape architecture is not a distinct profession but there are many significant historical and contemporary examples of 'landscape architectural' projects.
