I don’t know. But it is heartbreaking. Anytime I see scenes like this I want to run over and starting shoveling with my hands. 🙁 I think it will be a long time until they get to the rebuilding point.

Architecture for Humanity – Cameron Sinclair has begun organizing his efforts

ok louise.janney@westonsolutions.com  I am in the Albuquerque NM office but the Mountain division is sort of in Denver.  Lots of Brownfield work, marking graphics, and Infill Development thru the realestate end.  They have a good model and just now bringing on planning and LA.

Thank you for your insight and real time experience with this. So far I have been advised of sometimes long hours (not a regular feature) and a design pace that is accelerated. They are paying my way over, so far and helping me find a suitable place to live near their offices. This is my only viable prospect and as we both know, it has…[Read more]

That’s what I’ve heard time and again. It just seems strange to me..that many people, no creative thinkers??
 
Sure, my only real point was that sometimes it can be better to wait it out, albeit a different situation.

I looked at the website and it seems you might have some opportunities directly up my alley. Your right, a very cool company. I noticed one in particular with your West Chester branch. I have some good contacts, but they may not be geographically what the company might be looking for. Tell me more and please send me your direct email address.

Creative thinking would be my guess.  If they are like India they do not have a cultural history of development, infrastructure, and basic service provision like USA.  Plus look at the rate of growth!  Sounds like you are pretty fine just where you are.

Ihada job offer from a China firm not too long ago–Shenzhen and Shanghai.
 
I declined the offer for some of the previously stated reasons–Lower then average wage, loong hours, and evidently little or no time or place for outdoor recreation!
 
I had several rounds of phone interviews where the interviewers openly told me that they typically w…[Read more]

Hi Landplanner;
Check out the WESTON Solutions, Inc. web site.  There is a desire to hire for the Mountain division that is not posted but is like the one in West Chester.  If you have some good contacts in the industry and can help develop the planning work this is a great opportunity.  Very cool company even though the web site looks like all en…[Read more]

Hello,
 
A few years ago before I became an LA I lived and worked in Shanghai for just under a year and it was great. Afterwards I got to travel all over China which was amazing. You can live in Shanghai for literally next to nothing provided you get into the Chinese way of doing things and don’t try to recreate a little version of home, which…[Read more]

nah..backwards, as usual..Co-operation is a necessity..Compare the chaotic response to Katrina, vs. civilized Japanese response to their disaster..We had cops shooting black people, in our ‘freedom first’ society..Not happening in Japan..
There must be a balance between co-operation and individual freedoms, obviously, but our problems right now…[Read more]

“Oil is over” Ha! Smoke another one… it’s only starting to get interesting…
No third runway at Heathrow is a triumph of reason related to the oil industry? What are they gonna do, fly their planes on lithium-ion batteries, solar power and rainbows?
Libertarians decentralize power by putting more accountability on the individual and relying…[Read more]

Wow Tom, just like the 60’s – protesting war on LSD (taken completely out of context, but worth a laugh).

defeatism…Michael Bitman, in NYT, finally backs small-foods over GM crops (fertilizer and therefor oil based) and says it can be done..
ref. to dr. w/ gloves just a random observation – he was weird, very intense, and the only person I actually know who made money in stock market..
oil and power are not the point – the  point is YOU cannot…[Read more]

No, I was born in ’78… missed the Chicago River on fire… I did have the distinct pleasure of marching down Lake Shore Drive in the first Chicago Iraq War protest. We shut down LSD in both directions for as far as the eye could see… I found myself at the front, the protest organizer asked me, since I had my bike, to ride up to Oak St. to see…[Read more]

The Dude abides…

I think food and water are priorities right now… electricity is down=no water supply. Pipes broken/flooding=water polluted. Roads, rail ways & harbors destroyed = no delivery of food/supplies.
Their needs are very basic at this point… unless you can rapidly deploy mobile desalinization plants and figure out how to launch canned goods 3,000…[Read more]

Very humorous.  Thanks for sharing your graphic process Henry!

Great info and thanks for sharing Craig!

can we design landscapes that catch the stuctures before they slide into the sea, thus preventing all the incredible debris we throw into the ocean..Although apparently the plastic gyre while frustruting, is apparently not as bad a pollutant as nuclear power plants and air-born toxics..You can make it look pretty – p ossibly, – but you can’t call…[Read more]
