“Architecture is the art of how to waste space.”  – Phillip Johnson

“Its Only Four Walls and a Roof” — An architectural design seminar by landscape architects.

Next up? hardscape! Man…what CAN’T them architects do?

So the options are we can let architects forget about the exterior landscape until the hour before permitting, at which time they call and ask to get it “shrubbed up” or they can start thinking about it earlier.
I think we should pay them the $30 and let them see its more than just a 2 hr. skill.

With the building tech then or now?  Shouldn’t be too difficult even then, though the water well pressure might be a factor… these days it should be a piece of cake.

I have a box of them somewhere, now its Adobe Illustrator, I do remember Willow and Brick Red

I use:
willow green for grass
grass, nile, and emarald green for trees
flesh blush and brick red for colorful trees
buff and a couple of diff warm grays for site elements
cool gray #5 for shadows
a blue for water
Then I have a bunch of pencils that I color over with.
 

Thank you very much Jon.
Not to apply yet but if you can suggest some firms in Singapore(also in Jakarta) just to have an idea i will be glad.

Good luck,
Jon

My experience is that the portfolio sent to specific clients contain more info relevant to the client’s expectations- the websites are more glossy; younger firms will have more conceptual stuff (BIG’s principals are in their 30s I think), as they spend a lot of unbilled hours working on projects so that they might land projects in the future that…[Read more]

another interesting post, Henry! Michael Sorkin – I agree, he seems to have a lot of sense..

“Obviously people were fascinated by the particulars of this ‘progressive collapse’, in the same way there is something mesmerizing about any form of demolition.”
 

That website is truly inspiring. What a great visualization of a step-by-step demonstration of their design process– all without cluttering the images with un-needed text. As a concept-driven designer, I really see the importance of SHOWING the client WHY your design makes sense. So that it doesn’t just seem like it came out of left field— no…[Read more]

I’ve attended the past three years, but only registered the first year in full.  I realized the education sessions always had interesting topics, but the discussions only scratches the surface of the main topics.  I usually left with more questions than answers…
The past two years I have gotten suppliers to provide the free expo passes.  I do li…[Read more]

I not sure where all of their funding comes from, I just enjoy looking at their site from time to time :).  As far as your second question, I have heard someone say, great work blends seamlessly into it’s surroundings.  With that context I would have to answer, yes great work should be explained.  It should be explained not necessarily so that the…[Read more]
