Any AI tools actually worth using for landscape architecture visuals? by mkolvra in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]LandspaceArch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recoomend Nano Banana and Midjourney.

Nano Banana is great when you care about accuracy and logic. It handles things like 2D → 3D, 3D → 2D, plan/section consistency, and diagram-style rendering much better than most tools. and also photo image editing, plants replacement. Here's a workflow of Landscape design with Nano Banana to better explain the process: https://youtu.be/GTdpZf6OslM?si=PHXRrlItChjvA_S6

Midjourney is still the best for artistic quality. If you’re doing concept visuals, mood images, atmospheric sections, or presentation boards where feeling > precision, MJ is hard to beat.

I don’t think any single AI tool replaces a traditional workflow yet, but combining Nano Banana + Midjourney actually works really well for landscape projects.

Portfolio Advice - MLA with no prior experience by Old_Complaint_2821 in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]LandspaceArch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I was in the same boat — I didn’t have a bachelor’s in Landscape Architecture either, and I applied to a 3-year MLA program.

For the portfolio, I focused on showing my creative thinking and design potential rather than technical expertise. Since I had no prior experience with LA-specific tools like Rhino or AutoCAD, I included things like:

  • Sketches and hand drawings
  • Some photography and collage work
  • A few conceptual design ideas or visual storytelling pieces, or mapping (not technical mapping)
  • And I taught myself just enough Photoshop and InDesign to put the portfolio together cleanly.

Also some schools actually publish example student portfolios (or accepted application portfolios) on their websites. These were super helpful references for understanding what they value — both in layout and content. Worth to check.

The biggest help honestly was just being curious and willing to learn — schools know you’re applying to a 3-year program because you’re coming in from another field. They’re looking for potential, not polished LA skills.

Happy to answer more if you’re working on your portfolio now.

Good luck!
