Meh.  It uses a limited range of sources.  Fox business?  Appears as fear-mongering to thwart the Obama re-election.  That said, there is a lot of evidence that things are not great, and will not be great for a long time.  But 50% unemployment?  I’ve had the opportunity to interact with a lot of people in other industries lately, and most of them…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the comment Rachel. I hadn’t thought to add captions describing the media for my individual project pages but thats a great idea, thanks!

yawn.

we can spend all day worrying about this or we can do something. seems rather unimportant on a day like today, especially here in colorado.

What do you guys make of this article?

It’s difficult looking at your work and reading the text with the black bars in the way. I’d loose them or move them further away from the content. White space is your best friend. Yes, loose your pic and the palm trees on the cover, and just stick to one font type…

Keep the graphic design clean and simple and let your work stand out.

And are…[Read more]

I’m comforted by the notion, which may reside only in my own head and no where else, that those whom are likely to hire either an architect or landscape architect DO know what each is, thus there is no benefit to us for the rest of the population to know. I take it one step further to believe that we will be more burdened with dead end leads s…[Read more]

It is a bit different between architecture and landscape architecture. We are burdened with the ‘landscape’ part which automatically put the pickiture in the public’s head that we are somehow involved with mowing their lawn or planting pansies.
 
I don’t feel bad for the British architects, I feel bad for the ingnorant 15% that do NOT KNOW tha…[Read more]

I really enjoyed your website. I didn’t think it was too personal, it was intriguing. It got my clicking away wanting to see more. Have you thought about including some of your hand renderings? Your digital work was so good and there was so much of it that I think as a viewer it I kind of started to take it for granted after a while. Does that…[Read more]

I actually like what you have put together. It starts with simple projects and builds throughout, as if to show how your design talents have evolved and become more sophisticated. Whether that was planned or not that is one of the things that I take away. I also don’t have a problem with the content. You are very talented and that held my interest…[Read more]

Thanks Drew. Appreciate it.

Thanks, Trace.  Will do! 🙂

A lot of contractors that work on municipal projects will keep salvaged material in their materials yard, might ask a few of them.

I rarely work when I’m out of the office (work is for work and home is for rest dammit), so I think Ultrabooks are great for the light-duty jobs and for business travel. I have a powerful desktop at home and at the office to do the hardcore stuff, so I don’t have any need for anything better than what a sub $1000 Ultrabook or a $500 laptop can…[Read more]

I agree with Mr. Halprin, and will refer  people to a famous (and huge) one at the Hotel Del Coronado in California.
 
That’s fun, Andrew, try another..!

that’s not fair, you gave the answer

Craig. I understand your perspective. We all have our models of business and the good thing is, people, including my own employees who I recognise as associates, do have choices and are free to elect their best option. JP

Some years ago I heard from a guy who worked for the Trenton, NJ parks department about a large supply of salvaged bluestone sidewalk slabs that they had.  I actually got hold of one for my own house.  That guy has since been laid off as the city ran into budget problems, like so many other old cities.  But since they’re broke, they might be tr…[Read more]
