Integrated Project Delivery and Landscape Architecture

(Wrote this for my blog Landscape Invocation. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on IPD? Is it something people just getting into the industry should be aware/trained in? Is just having tech knowledge enough or are there other specialized skills associated?)In the July issue of Landscape Architecture Magazine, Karren C. Hanna writes about a "new design method" called Integrated Project Delivery (not to be confused with Integrated Product…See More

From Landscape Invocation: Tampa's High Speed Passenger Rail Program

Posted on January 29, 2010 at 12:00pm 3 Comments



President Obama announced a large amount of stimulus funding for high-speed rail lines all over the country.

California received the largest sum at $2.25 billion, but the Tampa-Orlando-Miami line won a considerable $1.25 billion, the second largest amount given out. It is evident to me that the… Continue

First LEED Neighborhood for the South: The Gulch, Nashville

Posted on July 17, 2009 at 10:05am 1 Comment

Thanks for the compliment Ben. It took me a while to figure out how I could create something that would hopefully stand out, and save me the cost of sending out to be printed. How are things down south?
