Thanks for the answers, I think I realised my solution!:)

If you like to contribute an article on Brazil, please do and send it to my e-mail at mike@beloose.com with some pictures attached.  Then I will put that on our home page (http://www.beloose.com) with your name.  I am excited and looking forward to your article at your convenience
.

Sounds great!

Good place sounds like.  I will study it and see it will be on my list next year.  Thanks.

Sound so good.  Indeed I will visit Africa and Bali someday in the near future.  Thanks for taking time to post so many pictures.  I love them.  Keep in touch.

I would love to visit Brazil someday.  I have had a few invitations to visit Rio and San Paulo, but didn’t try hard to go, may be I should.  Someday I will feature Brazil on my web site under Place of the Week and may be you can contribute an article about Brazil.  Thanks.

Hi Trevor, 
Thanks for taking time to suggest so many places to go.  I will try to make before I sit on wheel chair someday.  If you like, I am featuring a place of the week on my web site at http://www.beloose.com and wonder if you like to contribute some articles on places you have been.  Let me know.

BLA’s from a good program will have no shortage of theory or history. But I’ve seen schools offer MLA’s to students without prior design backgrounds and there couldn’t have been enough time in the program to make up for all the studio work they never experienced; the MLA just listed the same courses and descriptions that a BLA would have taken in…[Read more]

Agreed! Who said we should stop learning? What we are questioning is whether an MLA will help her achieve her goals.

Trace, Wow! You hit the nail on the head. I give you the badge for best comment of the month! Just be careful that you don’t extend too far. Someone with only a BLA doesn’t mean they don’t possess visionary thinking like the MLA and a person with a MLA doesn’t mean they’re not technically proficient either. Everybody is different and you should…[Read more]

Interesting.
 
Not sure if PLA is the right way to go. Anyway, it can add three more letters on the end of your name without doing anything. I use RLA and ASLA and will continue to do so. I know many who are licensed who only use ASLA. But you don’t have to have a license to be a full ASLA memeber. Thats the problem. I think a more reasonable th…[Read more]

Sara, the huge anti-intellectual bias on this site  is shocking and I think it is one of the reasons LA can’t compete with architects..Architects respect learning, respect theory and history..and respect new ideas..LA’s like on this site, are imbued with anti-learning that is prevalent in our society.
An MLA can hire a BLA (with several years of…[Read more]

This is a great new resource for designers to quickly generate photoshop graphics.

Thanks, Scott. This is something I’ve never thought of before. I always assumed that having an MLA was a huge step-up. Now I know that’s not always the case. I’ll keep this in mind!

You can’t honestly say “no’ to being able to get “the experience” without the credentials if you don’t know what exact experience she is looking for.
 
What experience are you looking for? Where do you want that experience to take you?
 
There is no generic all encompassing Landscape Architecture skill set. There are some that you can not get wi…[Read more]

Greece, the greek islands, (Hydra has no cars, it is gorgeous!) and Beirut, best weather in the world, packed with antiquities as well as night life – the cradle of civilization!
 

No to what?

I have met others in that spot. There is just so much redundancy in the 4 plus 3 option for arch/la school. I like the 5 year masters with an option to stop after 4 years.

Mike,
Two of my very favorite places that I have had the opportunity to visit have been Africa (Tanzania, Zanzabar, Serengeti) and most recently Bali. 
In 2008, my aunt and uncle were living in Tanzania for work and my mother and I went to visit.  We went on two safaris, one through the Serengeti and another through Selous.  They were both am…[Read more]
