Hi Thomas – Many thanks for your input, a good suggestion. I have been in contact with Nick already and yes his work is good. Cheers, Laith

Nick Aceto – He’s the best digital illustrator I’ve ever seen in person. He does work that’s on par with your examples. http://www.terrainstudioaspen.com/

I would recommend Luis Callejas at http://www.luiscallejas.com/ 
Bold visionary design and very striking digital representation

every country has their own unique situation or the rate of urbanization. one cannot compare apple to an orange.
Rapid urbanization such as China required a quick, mature ( creative is secondardy) design solution.For those who has experience working in China for sure understand the momentum.. so you either try to catch up or just not a good fit…[Read more]

Steve Wyda with Vision Design Collaborative does great work and is a Landscape Architect himself.  Their website is http://www.visiondesignpa.com.  

Hi Daniel. Apologies for this late reply. That’s great news you offer this service. Could you post a link to your on-line portfolio? The link in your Land* leads to a page in Japanese? Thanks. 

Robert,
I’m not saying that we should skip or abandon free had design. On the contrary this is still the most efficient way to develop multiple concepts during schematic design, and depending on the scope of the project DD.

Thanks Robert W and Peter G for your replies. I agree with both of you. While it’s exciting working in a fast-paced metropolis such as Shanghai where we to get to see our design implemented quickly, I am not convinced that employees should be working OT regularly like nothing without getting extra pay. 
Peter G – which firms you mentioned that…[Read more]

Another question along the same lines… Can you point me in the direction of some good sources for residential pottery/planters?
Thanks

@SS27,Money and power, buddy, is WINNING for the anti-global warming people, that you CANNOT DENY!! So there goes that idea of yours! and dare I say, Ah HA! a deep rooted hatred of academia!!! I knew it! Try to get around that, man, you are loosing out on understanding the modern world from your adolescent predjudices!  You must always know your…[Read more]

yup, It very much depends on the firm, worldwide. The idea of working longer hours for less pay has been around for a long time in the design professions and is unlikely to let up anytime soon. I have worked for firms in China and the U.S. that expect crazy hours, even most weekends.
I would say the majority of landscape architecture firms…[Read more]

Evidently not a lot of critical thinking, hence why so many people such as yourself have been sucked into this nonsense. And I despise people who use the term ‘denier’. It won’t be long before we’re just referred to as conspiracy theorists, or worse.
I do have my issues with academia. I was taught at one of the top private schools in the UK, my…[Read more]

Well said.

In the upper echelons of BIM people mistrust the word inherently. That’s because BIM means a lot of things, it is a model, a process, a software ability etc etc. Often people say BIM when they mean parametric, or they say BIM when they mean file sharing, or clash detection, or facilities management, or a database linking design and specification…[Read more]

It just all depends on how you want to define “BIM”.
In the world I deal in, our clients need results.  They do not care if it satisfies some made-up term, or uses Proxy Objects or Cloud Services, or any other particular buzzword of the day.  They need to get plans done, have the quantities correct, have the plan accurate, and interface with o…[Read more]

Apologies for my ignorance regarding your SketchUp addons. I interpreted your reply as adding BIM functionality to AutoCAD, so I must have misunderstood. 
I’m not trying to make your software look bad – heck, I applaud any effort to make tools more suitable for our profession. My issue is with the need to patch up existing software in order to…[Read more]
