well, i was hoping to get the word out with this discussion. Wouldnt it be cool to display the competition on the main page and have everyone that comes to the site able to cast their vote?… maybe have real-time updates an whatnot… this could be fun/exciting/awesome.

Craig,
I meant the suggestion to read some history to the group as a whole. Sometimes learning that there have been others before is an inspiration. I can’t speak for Sally Schauman but she can speak for herself a bit. I interviewed her in 2008 at: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/specialcollections/lewisclarke/sally_schaum…
As for some advice to BZ…[Read more]

Not sure if 100 people were hired as LA’s since 2009.  Good luck, post results regardless, please

I’ve just finished reading all the posts. I think some history is in order. Try Women in Landscape Architecture: Essays on History and Practice edited by Louise Mozingo and Linda Jewell.
 
Also, if you can find A Century of Women, there’s a chapter in there by Sally Schauman who, among other things, established the MLA Program at the University of…[Read more]

sounds like a great idea…I would love to have my students enter.

the battle over discrimination is over? don’t think so – here’s an interesting  post, also good for a laugh, from today’s NYT. Other relevant articles just from todays NYT are a new law to make sure nannies are paid like human beings (news for Meg Whitman) and…[Read more]

Thanks Theodore, Andrew, and Mark,
 
I really appreciate you taking the time to make comments.  Currently I am creating a relationship with an LA that will work with me on the initial vision of the project and then review both the conceptual plans, construction documents, including creative decisions in detailing, and a final review of all p…[Read more]

17 and counting….

MN allows architects and engineers to perform landscape architectural work, so the arch/engineer would sign/stamp the drawings, taking on the professional liability.
Check your state licensing requirements, it might be the same, in which case just have the architect sign the drawings.

strangely entertaining indeed. some helpful posts, some not. entertaining nonetheless!

No one should be stamping other people’s work, but being hired as a consultant to work together is pretty normal. You should write up a contract that protects your liability and also reserves some rights for you to use your participation and photographs of the project for advertisement or other uses.

Daniel,
I am in D/B, am registered and have worked with non licensed LA’s in this way, but I have no idea how others feel about it. 
To your second point–talk with your insurance company and they can adjust your insurance accordingly.  You shouldn’t find this to be a big deal for them.   On the build side of things, I find my insurance company…[Read more]

“It will never be a done deal.. and right now, in america today, the white men still got it and are working in congress right now,today, to keep it for themselves alone.” WOW…………….O_o

Yet I find it strangely entertaining.
 

There are some seriously messed up posts on this thread.

I do full site plans including driveways, swimming pools (grading and retaining walls with spot elevations), patios , fencing, …and most anything else that you might find on a residential house lot for under $2k. I don’t provide construction details and specifications with it, but they are all custom designed for the client and site. It will be…[Read more]
