This question has two dimensions. It is an open question that seeks to understand what kind of design you admire, and it is also a question testing your knowledge of contemporary design. The best way to answer is to choose a landscape architect that is interesting and one that you know something about. It would also be helpful if you do genuinely like their work as this will allow you to speak passionately about it. Highlight why you admire them - consider their philosophical approach, a unified style they adopt, or innovations and contributions in the industry. A failure to be able to speak passionately and knowledgeably will indicate a lack of interest and awareness of the industry and leading professionals.

"Acclaimed landscape architect Andrea Cochran believes brilliant design requires both persistence and a very high standard for excellence. Andrea is a very high achiever with a finely honed aesthetic and sensitive eye; she manages to distill the essence of nature within her projects - whether a small residential garden, public park, or art museum. The resulting spaces convey a rare elegance, simplicity, and poetry. In my opinion, Andrea is one of the masters of modern landscape architecture."
