I am wondering what safety issues they are referring to…if there aren’t safety issues I think this is utterly ridiculous.

Funny side note: I read an article about Brad Pitt where they called him an amateur architect…haha. So I guess having the money and fame to get you an audience with well known architects and dabbling in design is now enough to make you an architect. If I was an architect this would drive me crazy…and this does nothing for their profession. I…[Read more]

There are few piers over here that need new direction. I will take an evening stroll. Thank you

I love the look of this but sadly won’t be getting that far north this time. Thanks for offering to be a guide, next tirip to SF definitely.

I will, thank you. Opinions are great, what is landscape if not a subjective experience? Flawed landscape design, whatever next??!!!

Thank you. Having see Citizen Cane several times I loved the Hearst castle experience. V touristy but a remarkable engineering feat and opulence. Strangely no Orson Welles!!!!

I use a Hilti p30, £100 ebay difficult to find in Europe really most seem to have come via the states. Latest Leica outdoor model is too expensive, + to many bells and whistles. There are more recent Hilti models and supposedly 200m outdoor is achievable although in reality bright sunlight cuts the range down a heck of a lot.

It was probably mentioned before:
 
California Academy of Sciences and De Young.
If you come to San Francisco I will be happy to take you to there.

You are right. Old town totally rocks!

Obviously, some of you didn’t read his question carefully. He asked for suggestions on sites to see and not your own opinions! If you look hard enough, every landscape design has flaws. Getty Center is worth a visit since everybody here seems to have been there. Go Nick and judge for yourself.

Is there a degree for permaculture? I don’t think so…in fact, I would say they could not call themselves a landscape architect. Heck, they offer workshops around here…it is more geared towards food production but is that much different the researching soil type, solar aspect and proper plant selection?
Of course this is off topic…but more…[Read more]

In my opinion, if you have never been to the Getty, you should most definitely spend a day there.  You can learn equally from bad design as you can from good design and form your own opinions. 
A few more worth seeing…
Huntington Library in San Marino (LA area) is a must see for me!
