I’m sorry to hear this. LEED projects *should* follow an integrated project delivery method, in which the full team works together from day 1. Being brought in for only six weeks, and being told how to design rather than you contributing as an equal collaborator, should not have happened, so the process you experienced was flawed. It was not true…[Read more]

Again, let’s stick to the issues. No one person’s CV bares significance here. Whether I’m a PLA licensed in three states who believes good outcomes are possible from SSI, a PE considering going back to school for an MLA, or an emerging LA professional who is working toward licensure – what does it matter? I was merely wondering who is e…[Read more]

look, it’s ok…we were all young and impressionable at one time…
so are you a landscape architect?

I am not “another non landscape architect,” and I am not “telling you what to think.” Beyond that, let’s just stick to the issues.

it means whatever you think it means….by the way, where is your registration Linda?
Or, are you a another non landscape architect on here telling us what to think?
That would be one definition of encroaching….

Alan and Mark, what does “trying to encroach on the real pros” mean?  And to whom are you referring, “those without credentials something to put behind their names”? 

Perhaps, perhaps not. But landscape architects are not the only ones who work in the built environment. At the very least maybe you can agree that SSI – and LEED, etc – raise awareness of critical issues and landscape-based solutions to a wider audience of professionals and CLIENTS?  Can’t you agree that systems and plaques entice more prop…[Read more]

Hi John!
I think this was a great question and one I’d like to see get some engagement. What are firms using for lead generation in 2015? 

I think the best avenue here is working with landscape design/build firms. Many of these companies—especially those with revenues in the $2.5-4M range—need educated designers to handle fluctuating demand throughout the season.
Many of the lower revenue companies are always looking for professionals who are proficient in computer drafting and 3d…[Read more]

There are some Frank Lloyd Wright work up there, no? (http://www.visitbuffaloniagara.com/businesses/frank-lloyd-wrights-martin-house-complex/) 
Also an Olmsted plan (https://www.bfloparks.org/)…
I think Joy Kuebler’s done some neat work in the area (http://www.jklastudio.com/)

Sustainable Sites Initiative has not been subsumed by LEED. GBCI is the third-party administrator for both LEED and SSI, which are independent rating systems intended to make schools, buildings, landscapes, communities healthier, happier places for the long term. Many do not consider them “BS marketing strategies”, it is a shame that you do. 

hahaha….I resemble that remark!

You can find a ton of reviews and demonstrations of Surveying Equipment on this land surveying community along with asking questions to professional surveyors.. hope this helps!

Hi Alan,
I detect some latent curmudgeonly tendencies in your response. But that’s OK—takes one to know one! I also agree 100% with your viewpoint. Used to be just LEED, then Sustainable Sites came into vogue (apparently subsumed by LEED), then it was/is Green Globes (green industry’s version of the Golden Globes?). So I’m wondering what the lates…[Read more]
