Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'landscape' (an expanse of outdoor land) + 'architect' (a designer), so it denotes a designer of landscapes. This is a regular compound noun pattern with clear cross-linguistic equivalents (e.g., Spanish 'arquitecto paisajista'), making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
Landscape architect comes from combining landscape, meaning the land and plants you see, and architect, meaning a person who plans buildings. Imagine someone drawing maps and plans for a garden the way an architect draws a house, so the term means 'someone who plans and designs outdoor spaces'.
