Subject: [permaculture] Landscape architecture and permaculture design, differences, how to merge, where does one end and the other begin.

Just a few initial thoughts to try and start a new discussion thread:
It would be worth using the best of both disciplines, especially for
those who offer any kind of landscaping services, where does landscape
architecture and related subfields end and permaculture begin or vice
versa or how to combine the best of both to practice permaculture and
eco-landscape architecture to the max. The disciplines are very
different in obvious ways, i.e. certified, bondable industrial landscape
plans and on the other hand permaculture designs to implement that work
as well as their landscape counterpart in every way, especially being
aesthetically pleasing and spiritually rewarding (Japanese landscapes,
post-Colonial and Country Life Movement English cottage gardens).
For those offering services and are looking for substantial jobs for
clients who can afford them I would imagine there would be as many
customers for permaculture site design and implementation as there would
be for landscape design and installation. I hear from many
permaculturists getting involved in the consultation and design field
that they have found many wealthy clients who invest in raw land and
want to turn it into a permaculture demo site. The key phrase there is
"permaculture demonstration site".
