I don’t know if it is advertising but self promotion on sites like Landezine can’t hurt.

…so do you mention LA in your ad?
and do people respond because you use LA in the ad?

After the ’87 Great Storm when southern England lost millions of trees, a woman said to me at the bus stop “Oh it’s probably a good thing, they do make such a mess don’t they!”.  Well, I suspect the designer thought the trees in the picture sufficient and may have heard that it is hard to find salt tolerant trees, they cost money to tend,…[Read more]

Heather,
Your return email address is “do not reply” and my response bounced back.

Yeah I could see it as a ,”we are too good for that”…sort of thing. haha. But unethical? Nah. haha.
Wanted to add we do advertise in a local Co-op paper but we are design/build with landscape architecture.
 

I agree about the website…however when did you see a LA firm advertise on radio or in newspaper?
I think one problem with the publics misunderstanding of what we do may be related to the fact that we don’t advetise in the commercial world.
In the past it has been seen in very bad taste for a professional to advertise….after all, we are so…[Read more]

personally I don’t see how anything in this thread is helping the profession. registered or not we all love this profession and choose to do it and we all know it wasn’t for the money.
 
LA work is so vast that everyone here also knows how difficult it is to explain what we do(as a whole) because their are so levels and facets. 
 
As my prof…[Read more]

Huh? I never knew of any such thing…we definitely do advertise…I mean, does putting your name in the phone book count? In our small ethics class nothing was taught about advertising…so I have never heard of this. Our biggest challenge is knowing HOW to advertise…what will be worth the money. We certainly do advertise.
Heck, nearly every…[Read more]

Thanks Andrew! I wasn’t trying to come off ignorant, I was just confused.

the other thing that occurs to me about this is, is this a Tsunami prone part of the world? Or is it protected..Never been to Seattle.
but with the Japanese Tsunami, the didn’t observe the McHarg Layer cake rules, and failed to recognize quake-prone areas as having  knock-out constraints for building nuclear reactors..
You can’t do anything…[Read more]

This does look pretty cool… seems much quicker and more accurate than sketchup and you don’t seem to have to have to worry about that one random line on a different layer that messes things up later on in the modeling process… i will do more research on this one.

you would also take your life in your hand every time you wanted to access the waterfront by dodging 7 lanes of traffic.

Nick,
It is not a matter of anyone’s opinion. The use of the term “landscape architect” is regulated by law – rightly, or wrongly.
 
Alan’s opinion, no disrespect for Alan intended, is of no consequence. Read the link that you posted! It clearly states who may and may not use the title in your state. It does better than most by mentioning how…[Read more]

I still love the San chapelle, in Paris, the apex of stained glass and flying butresses, the Tuileries and the rodin museum…
and as far as I am concerned, breakfast cafe latte in paris, but bring your own food to London, but go see  plays, go see the Royal Shakespeare for every play on the rep that you can…

Does this mean the title “landscape architect” in any form such as student and such is applicable by this law? I’m trying not to be against you here.

In all seriousness what’s the difference between LA and RLA?

So, if I “have every right to be”
…then why are you sniping at me?
I see that you are a Student Landscape Architect…..
Where do they give out that title?

I guess it is a case of what floats your boat.  In Mile End, London, near the tube station, there is a footbridge that is also a park with trees right over the road system.  Also, in Battersea, is the new American Embassy.  It has been designed to be unapproachable and bombable even by a truck.  Antiterrorist kit has now to be included in may bui…[Read more]
