Turnaround in exam has partially to do with them analyzing the ‘tryout questions’ – the small body of volunteers available to write and review exam questions makes it difficult for rapid turnaround.  I’m assuming you’re heavily lobbying local veteran professionals to help chip in on the process.
Exam study books are the books the writers of the…[Read more]

Some of Shlomo Aronson’s monographs include historical landscape references (Israel).

No direct experience to report but I expect these products are best suited to vehicles or erosion control rather than for running or lounging on. Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me

When I started building my own garden then we went slowly and steadily while creating raised beds, used barrier against weeds, enriched the soil,e tc. and the result now is very beautiful and appealing.

Hi Mr.Henry,
Thanks for your reply.  
I still don’t know the timeline of history development of Middle East’s garden. So i will study from your suggest.
Many thanks, 🙂

the only tip for people should be to hire a landscape architect 😉

Your arch friends also pay less for 7 exams than we do for 4 which are harder, which makes you think they would be harder to grade, but they get results in 7 days. 

Hmm, not sure about it “being a good thing” to wait so long for results, I finished all mine a couple years ago in the new format and what was most frustrating for me is how little ASLA does with the exams and how CLARB rules over it, not working with states (Dept. Labor and Licencing) to make the process easier. In MD there are numerous duplicate…[Read more]

Thumbs up, Walter! 🙂

Hi Madeline,
I currently work overseas and have been out of the US for almost 10 years.  As other have mentioned, I would start in the US, gain some experince and definitely get your license.  As mentioned, concentrate on being very productive and learn how to master construction document preparation and how things are put together.
I have w…[Read more]

The traditional way of finding a company in your desired location and sending them a hard or digital portfolio, resume, and cover letter should be enough. Whether or not they want a foreigner depends from office to office. Usually the bigger office, or an office that does international work, the more likely they can bring in a foreigner. You may…[Read more]

It is strange. I see the same thing as Lance.
When dealing with cut and fill slopes it seems that the ratio is horizontal:vertical.  Massachusetts uses this convention in defining a wetland resource area called a Coastal Bank.
My understanding is that H:V is a US convention when dealing with contours and the opposite is true in Europe.

1. Travel for fun? Look online for regions where landscape offices are so busy all they need are warm bodies for production. Of course you need to know how to produce; or,
2. Practice for a career–take on the austerity and practice in your home state to get licensed/registered before you hit the road. Registered/licensed in the USA opens doors…[Read more]

I was always taught rise over run. 

B.Arch – very useful as an undergraduate degree and background before going into landscape architecture.

Thanks very much, everybody!  I have also found both these perspectives in my research.  Will explore further.

Interesting perspective.  Starting small with a few fruits or veggies is good for urban dwellers in my opinion, but this scenario highlights the need for a thriving agricultural sector.  I’m encouraged to see the spread of smaller “family farms” that work directly for the consumer (CSA’s, milk shares, etc).  
My wife and I have been gradually tu…[Read more]
