I will not accept any information of the grounds of nationality alone.
I already work with a Portuguese Landscape Architect, with over 20 years experience or so.
Why is your opinion better than his?
I will accept a reference for the law you are referring too.
I have no opinion on the matter.
Simply put the link to the law online and have this…[Read more]

About the rest of the comments you have made, they look like opinions that are not underpinned by any actual facts.
The APAP is not a professional “order” because the law allowing it to become one has never been passed. Period. It is not for the APAP to decide it.
It is for the Government to do so.
The EU Parliament decisions are rather…[Read more]

I think that if you take some time to find out about the law in Portugal, you will find that Landscape Architecture is not protected in any way.
It is recognised to a higher degree than in Spain and it enjoys considerable respect, but there is no law that I know of that reserves professional activity to Landscape Architects.
If you do, I would…[Read more]

Why don’t you just “make” them?
It is fairly easy. I developed my own photoshop technique back in 1998 and a few years later the same office (and a few others people have moved too) were using it to produce plans.
And it was not rocket science, I am sure it was quite easy to do because my PS technique was rubbish!

I do know of Batlle and Roig. They are architects. They do have a form of Landscape Architecture qualifications that is very nice and expensive, but it carries no official weight.
Lots of people are coming to Spain attracted by this kind of work, paying good money for Masters and the like, not knowing that they are not official and cannot be…[Read more]

I am going to reply here what I replied in the thread about Brazil, because it may be relevant:

There is no equivalent to LARE in Europe.Each country has its own system. The main difference between countries is whether a profession is regulated, simply recognised or does not exist as such and it is therefore illegal to work under that…[Read more]

Hola,There is no equivalent to LARE in Europe.
Each country has its own system. The main difference between countries is whether a profession is regulated, simply recognised or does not exist as such and it is therefore illegal to work under that professional title.
“Regulated Profession” means that it enjoys official status and the professional…[Read more]

I think a good alternative career is any one that allows you to travel.  I believe it is important for LAs to travel and see the work of other LAs, noted works or architecture and famous natural landscapes and cities known for aesthetic merit.  I’ve been working as a biomedical technician, wihich is bascally electronics repair for medical d…[Read more]

I am not a lawyer, but I do not believe the people you spoke to were correct.  I would highly recommend asking someone with the proper legal expertise for that state, possibly your insurance provider.
One thing that might help is the term you’re looking for isn’t ‘statute of limitations’ but rather ‘statute of repose’.  Generally it looks like in…[Read more]

In 2010 I took a home energy efficiency analysis class that included LEED-GA training, though not the LEED-GA class.  It was paid for through a grant to a local nonprofit that was administering job training grants.  It was part of that whole “Cash for Caulkers” program.  I actually got a few interviews to be an energy analyst through it, but as so…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the helpful response.  I’ll check with my unemployment office

Steel does provide those nice clean sharp curves on a budget like nothing else can.    I think it has a place in certain applications, and we have used it many times.
Most manufacturers have more options than you may realize.  There are a variety of gauges  Some offer longer stakes.  Some make it wider (6″ vs. 4″).  All of which will give it more…[Read more]

Check with your local unemployment office. Most of the federal funds for professional development are distributed through them for “workforce development.” I recently obtained my Green Roof Professional certification, both the classes and the exam, from a County workforce development grant with federal funds. It was a structured program (they h…[Read more]

Hi there,

An alternative could be cobblestone edging – we have a huge demand for this kind of edging. For a more contemporary look, you could use a cobble with cleaner lines,or perhaps granite cobbles… here’s an example using a 100 x 100mm cobblestone set in concrete… it’s not as clean as steel, but there are some manufacturers with narrower,…[Read more]

this may interest you, Roland..Maybe this is the kind of stuff your dad is reading. Or maybe he is just interested in the ‘landscape’ – sounds like a lot of the beaches have some very  nice scenery. Kidding!

Hi Jordan,

Yep – i think that a performance-based remuneration system could be a solution. The staff don’t understand the cost of having to re-install, re-anything… and of course there are also opportunity costs – ie delaying other work while sorting out problems that should not have been there in the first place.

Hi Mark,

We have had mixed performance from people who previously had their own businesses, but your thinking makes sense – I think it’s a good idea to find out more information as to why the business was not successful… don’t want history to repeat itself… thanks for your insight

I mean to say the UK is more like an apprenticeship, where the US is more like a regular college degree with a lot of “filler”. From what else I remember, the UK is very hort-heavy. The US…not so much.
