"Celebrate Aesthetics ", this should be the mantra that ASLA puts out every day. What is up with our profession? We seem to be so afraid of this with a need to justify everything we do as having a…Continue

Working over 40 hours?

I saw an admonishment on another thread warning a person entering the field to be prepared to work 10-12 hour days.Do people really work 10-12 hours a day? I'd hear that when I was in school (from professors who never drifted too far from campus since leaving high school), but I don't know anyone who worked more than slightly over 40 when there was a lot of work. No one that I know of wants to pay overtime. Who has worked a lot more than 40 hours as an employee on a regular basis? Please chime…See More

"I would like to know, with the economy coming back and getting better what are the typical hours per week that you are working? Is it more or less than what it has been the last several years through the recession."

"It is nice to see that they fixed that. I'm pretty sure you could not do that in ACAD 14 and I have never used 'spline' since because of that. I see that it does not seem to work on 'ellipse'. Thanks"

After the Phills going out in the first round and the Eagles having a miserable season, I'm tires of having my heart ripped out and stomped upon.

My new sports to follow are curling and indoor Canadian quoits.

I'm Sam, and I am currently a summer student enrolled in a Landscape Architecture class at the University of Maryland. I am very interested in the profession.

For a class project, I am using Land8Lounge as a place to ask landscape architects from around the world a few questions about their field. I came across a few of your posts in the forum, and browsed through some of your work as well. You seem very passionate about your work; I love it!

So if you are at all interested in participating, then feel free to write me back.

Thanks!!

Best,

Sam

At 9:00am on February 27, 2011, Craig A Raines said…: Been married for 17 years, two daughters (who do not want to be landscape architects). I had my own business for 7 years but know i work for the city of los angeles department of rec and parks. I work in the advance planning section of the planning department. You ask what 'Advance planning' is and its basically me sitting around thinking up cool types spaces and then doing it. I was lucky with the skate stuff as I am real good friends with Rob Dyrdek and Steve Berra and I got us to do some public private partnerships with us along with NIKE......I am pretty fourtunate in that i feaking love what i do!!

I know how it is working with civil eng as i work way back then for the county of los angeles department of public works and it blew big time as the civils and i never really saw eye to eye on anything.

Spent time Professionally Raod Racing motorcycles but outside of those 5 years its been all landscape...My focus now is Trick out skate plazas and bmx parks.....I also had my own firm for 7 years but my partner and the economy killed that....
