sorry, I MEANT Cleveland., knew I should have double-checked…Flyover land to me, unfortunately..Might as well be Iraq….

Since you asked, and in my humble opinion, for us LA’s this is dealing on governmental concept levels, having more to do with taxes than design.
But of course I am not bereft of opinions at that level..Personally I don’t like Nick Gillespie, have seen him speak fairly often – generally to me Libertarian ideas seem half-baked..There is not a real…[Read more]

I worked at OvS for the last 8 years. They do nice work. I was really blown away by Teardrop Park. And the Highline was a groundbreaking project–not perfect, but a different type of park. Tomorrow in my blog I’m featuring:

How a Frenchman became the Hottest Landscape Architect in America

Not sure this guy is my favorite, but he’s doing really…[Read more]

JT: I don’t know this person personally but…. In the Spring/Summer Sav-a-Tree mail-out, in the ‘My Favorite’ section, a Barbara Paca, PhD, ASLA, notes that her favorite tree is Fagus sylvatica ‘Atropunicea,’ and signs herself as a “Landscape Designer,” employed by (owner of?)

Like Maya Lin, her recent Waves stuff is really fun, but she seems more like a sculptress..James Corner, while very successful, does not grab my…[Read more]

Maya Lin.
She is not very productive landscape architect, or you could even argue about if she is strictly a landscape architect or not. But when I firstly read about her designs as a first year la student, my way of understanding about this profession just got completely shifted .(Before that I never really realised how powerful and stunning a…[Read more]

Thanks, Chris and Andrew, that’s good advice.

I love the shameless self promotion! Welcome to the club… : )

I also agree with Chris. Moving the subscription form above the fold will increase the number of subscribers.

Thomas,

I think your blog looks great. I like the clean, simple design. I also like your unique profile–so UNstuffy! My only suggestion would be to move your email and rss feeds up higher–you will probably get more subscribers. Well done!
