Tosh K replied to jane gomery's discussion 'Software advise'"BricsCAD?
www.bricsys.com
I recall my classmates using it in school in lieu of AutoCAD (basic version is $450); drawings looked great and it looked easier to use than the Vectorworks/AutoCAD. I hear it has moderate popularity among smaller…"
Tosh K replied to nca777's discussion 'When to hire? How to Hire? And when to think about renting office space.'"Hire on contract - it's not a bad thing to show your growth off initially and reward those that stick with you in the beginning.
Some copy/print shops have conference rooms for you to use for meetings; I've also seen a few folks use local…"
Tosh K replied to Yekaterina Yushmanova's discussion 'Are (or were) 3ds Max and Rhino a part of your LA curriculum?'"There's a difference btw being taught the programs and being knowledgeable. It seems that it's reasonable to expect exposure to the software but if someone can't work in them fast enough, it's not really worth the bother…"
Tosh K replied to Greg Byrer's discussion 'Design Fee Shock'"I've seen it done both ways. Set fee for a project (understanding some idea of total construction cost, I recall asking for % based on full build of all options: outdoor kitchen, pool house, pool, gardens, etc) generally by…"
Tosh K replied to Laura SD Greloch's discussion 'LARE SECTION A - woes for a 24 year veteran in the industry....'"Congrats!"
Tosh K replied to Barbara Brem's discussion 'Plagiarism in a CE course'"Unless they were the one who provided that info to wiki, etc, it's a hard sell. As Rob pointed out, being professionals, I think it's fair to say that the intention for continuing ed is that we want to learn from experts in their…"
Tosh K replied to Andres F. Pineda's discussion 'Whale, Medium or Small Fish - When you don't know how hungry you will become in the future.'"I suppose there are different ways of going about getting to any certain "goal". As a few of my mentors have pointed out, a job is just a way to get your next job (unless you really happen to fall into your dream job right away.…"
Tosh K replied to Rebecca R.'s discussion 'Share your favorite CAD "tricks"'"I'm a sucker for "stretch""
Tosh K replied to Chris's discussion 'storm water flow'"I'd also back HydroCAD (vague recollection of using it in my CivE days). Also, if I remember correctly TR-55 is best at larger areas, simple or modified Rational Method is better for smaller sites (5 ac or smaller). In both cases,…"
Tosh K replied to ccxshen's discussion 'landscape architecutre response to natural disaster'"This is related to a thesis? One is to understand the natural processes and cycles in project areas, and design to be "adaptable" or "resilient" (see field ecology theory) to these systems. This should also take into…"
Tosh K replied to Andrew Boyd's discussion 'Get me excited about an MLA!'"I do remember a time when nearly everyone at our program would sit on multiple offers at graduation. Oh the good ole days."
Tosh K replied to toby's discussion 'go stick a tree on it'"The winter gardens in the Commerzbank in Frankfurt-am-Main in Germany by Foster are still looking pretty good.
Paley Park had a maintenance budget locked away when it was built.
Maintenance would depend on how well it was designed…"
Tosh K replied to Shavawn Coleman's discussion '10 Most Over Looked Women In Architecture'"The film "Women in the Dirt" covering more contemporary practitioners on the West Coast is pretty amazing. A more historic look would indeed be great."
