i want to learn and know how to design landscape and houses by using software.
i'm a civil engineering student and i want to learn about designing. i'm more into architectural, still, knowledge is fascinating.especially designing.although i'm in the field of engineering but i still want to study about designing even if i have to study by my own. so, which software is best for both. any suggestion?

I would agree with Arcspace. One of the many problems that is pervasive in the practice of contemporary architecture is that proficiency in software somehow makes one a good designer. The software is merely a tool and you should feel free to use whichever platform that allows you to express your ideas the best. I would recommend, if possible, that you get a copy of "Graphic Thinking for Architects and Designers" by Paul Laseau (or anything by him for that matter. Also read "Architecture: Form, Space & Order" by Frank Ching (any work by him would be advised as well). Software is always changing, but if you have a good foundation you'll be able to adapt your skills to any technology. Hope that was helpful.

You can always continue your education with a master's degree in Architectural Design. If you're interested in schools, the UK has some good selections with Masters courses just a year long, granted they're not accredited with the RIBA, but they're still taught in conjunction with the accredited programs, so the education is just as good.
