Front yard
"Beautiful. What kind of wood was used for the deck and fence? And did you detail these features, as well?"
Bryan Bailey replied to Bryan Bailey's discussion 'Sustainable Landscapes'"Thanks for explaining. I can agree with that. I find myself inspired by older published work by Ian McHarg and Jane Jacobs but not so much by recent writings... Maybe it's because McHarg and Jacobs were more like leaders/activists than designer…"
Andrew Garulay, RLA replied to Bryan Bailey's discussion 'Sustainable Landscapes'""The Landscape" needs to be defined before you can begin to consider whether it even makes sense that the particular landscape should be designed for a certain "lifespan" or if there is any reason to think it should go on for…"
Bryan Bailey replied to Bryan Bailey's discussion 'Sustainable Landscapes'"I don't understand what the NY Times editorial page has to do with this post.

I stumbled onto this article by Robert L. Thayer, Jr. (see below) and I think he makes a lot of excellent points. Anyone care to comment? The evolving concept of the sustainable landscape is a welcome and necessary addition to the philosophy, theory, and practice of landscape architecture. This paper presents a number of arguments relating to the character of sustainable landscapes and the manner in which they may ...be experienced by people. It argues that mainstream landscape architecture…See More

Bryan Bailey replied to Emily W.'s discussion 'Greywater/Irrigation design'"I have had a similar experience with 'greywater' systems in Portland, OR. These are usually part of the municipal systems and are classified as 'non-potable'. I think that it is possible to use 'greywater' for…"
