CLARB is a scam.  They will rip you off for thousands and keep the carrot from you.  CLARB looses money when you pass.  CLARB changing the rules during mid stream is unfair and wrong. 

gold mine, thanks

click drop down button “+image categories” at the top for a range of selections.  

Changes made = a modified format from A,B,C,D,E to 1,2,3,4. Same material, but 4 sections. If you find it hard to believe CLARB took credit, believe it, because it happened. No grandfather, no refund. CLARB claims the sent out Twitter, Facebook, email and USPS notices. They claim to have sent this information out over 1 years time. The problem…[Read more]

What are the changes? I find it hard to believe they can take any credit away for previously passed sections as they would have happened before the change and should be “grandfathered” in. What kind of a notice was sent out? Does the state you’re in have a Board of Architects (might be part of the Board of Ed as it is in some states) Or Office of…[Read more]

I’ve been looking more closely at programs and have replaced Toronto and RISD with LSU and UGa on the list. Do you know about your program’s network strength or alum base in the Northeast?

Although not online I learned a great deal from the book ” Spanish Phrases for Landscaping Professionals” by Jason Holben and Dominic Arbini. 
Goes through sections like hiring, safety, planting, building, and maintenance. 
I then used the Before You Know it Software for the iPhone. 

Thank you.

Cool! I’m guessing there is a field of mint nearby?

Have you looked into Louisiana State University. I am currently a 4th year undergrad and have loved it here. Our programs both undergrad and grad are very well respected and a top 5 program year after year. We have  an extensive amount alumni, and all of our professors come from Cornell, Berkley, GSD, VTech. Travels abroad are also an integral…[Read more]

In that case, you may also want to check out Conway School of Design in Mass… http://www.csld.edu/  Heard many good things about the program.  

Thanks for the response, Robert!
I’ve looked at the DI rankings for MLA schools and certain trends do emerge, like you mentioned. I’m looking for some Land8ers to chime in about their alma maters if those appear on this list and give an insider’s opinion. Things I can’t get from online materials or the schools’ recruiting (read: marketing)…[Read more]

Thanks Andrew,

I am indeed looking for insight from grads of the above schools or people who have some contact with the programs. Are you by any chance familiar with any of them?
I checked out the planetizen link and the LA filter only yields Auburn for some reason. The ASLA schools map is an easy database to navigate,…[Read more]

A lot of the 3D people are actually 2D people that render 3D in programs like Shaderlight. It’s an easy to use program and relatively inexpensive.

In both of his books, Daniel mentions FormFonts as a good source of 3d and 2d material.  Have you checked there?

Nice accessible article.  I’ve always been fascinated about the perception of places – The idea of what Paris or Tokyo or Berlin is and how they can drive ideas of transformation (and often disregarding, for better or for worse, some of the problems that come with it).
On a related note I love how places are represented and used in movies and…[Read more]

Hey @unjLTV, 
Great topic!  Planetizen just created a definitive online directory of Urban Design programs.  You can also filter by Landscape Architecture program, as well.  Check it out here: http://www.planetizen.com/schools
Though, you are really looking for an inside perspective, right?  Looking forward to hearing what Land8ers think… 🙂

The people that were used in his book, Google Sketchup for Site Design: A Guide to Modeling Site Plans, Terrain, & Architecture, appear to be 3D & whatever they are, I’ve got to have them.  They’re colorless and appear to be 3D.  Very sharp.

I am in touch with Surface America now through my contact at Parkitecs here in ny, and good point on the frost heave, 

Thanks for your help Tosh.
Cheers
