Amy,
No judgement regarding your personal level of tolerance…my remark was a general complaint about the tone of the conversation that was developing. Comments such as “mental masturbation” again prompt me to request we be civil and adult.

So he told weak jokes and imparted his personal philosophies (some Christian, some from Confusious…[Read more]

Hi Kelly,

I study at the moment Landscape Architecture at Writtle School of Design near London. The school offers besides the Landscape architecture studies, Landscape management, Land art and Conservation. I also know that Greenwich offers more urban orientated studies. It just depends what you prefer so if you have questions just ask.

Hi Trace.

Why should I put you in your place if some points are valid? I’m center left too, but am open to seeing the will and action to change. I posted it somewhere here, that the recession does something good to the region…unarrested development is…well…arrested. Now that’s there’s a crunch, clients are now looking for more quality to…[Read more]

WOW, that sounds amazing! That type of use of the park isn’t by design, it’s by culture. Not that as a landscape designer I don’t strive to create spaces that foster this type of use, but it’s just not widespread in the American culture. Thanks for the tip. What was the University?

I’m glad to see that New Urbanists are absorbing the sustainable agriculture thing. I’d never heard the term “nourishable place” before you mentioned it. I agree that landscape architects could make some major contributions to the sustainable ag. movement.
It’s hard to respond to this topic when I agree with most of what’s been said.

Mr. Flor, I am happy to hear Dubai pays some lip service to going green..But I am fairly left of center – where does ANY of the water come from? What sort of habitats are being displaced for these hideous shore-line high-rises? I have never heard anyone complain about the inapropriateness of developing Dubai beyond it’s capacity..I have only heard…[Read more]

@ Mr. Mouzon, I think we also need to look to invasives and weeds for their nutrients – one of my pet projects is to make a pictionary phamplet of edible weeds, to be distributed to bums (of which we have a lot in california..)

Yeah, the highway through the city is old old old hideosity..Ian McHarg always fought for the one in P hilly (95? I…[Read more]

Thanks! The found the AIA CAD Standards that Harvard has adopted very helpful. I have attached them if anyone else is interested…

Thanks again!

Is anyone aware of any exceptionally designed, well documented, and public stormwater management projects that completely, or largely, utilize native soils? (Firms, web-resources, documents, etc.)

I’m trying to get a better understanding of how we can design and construct green infrastructure more closely modeled by ecological systems and just,…[Read more]

Thanks, Boilerplate! Since you mentioned it, I’m starting to build an online photo database at http://samouzon.zenfolio.com/

Trace One, I’m not disparaging growth limits… what I’m saying is that growth limits alone don’t do the job, because what gets built within the limits is the same old crap (see Portland.) The ideal situation is one where…[Read more]
