Journal of landscape architectureSummary: The creation of the Department of Landscape Architecture in May 1971, as part of an already well-established School of Planning & Architecture, New Delhi [SPA-D], was a significant event in the academic history of India. This is no hyperbole. The academic and professional impact of the department’s creation unfolded over the next three decades. From a disregarded non-entity in 1971, ‘Landscape Architecture’ is today a recognized and well-established frontline academic and professional discipline in India. Department of Landscape Architecture’s contribution to this turn of events is significant as it gave form to an amorphous discipline. It was ‘amorphous’ at least in India because there was confusion in the minds of the people, between landscape architecture and courses like gardening, horticulture, and arboriculture. While there is an overlap with such similar disciplines, they do not constitute landscape architecture.
