If your looking for the more hard science, evidence based side, there is some out there. Its not as easy to find as you might think, but as with most research articles, if you find one, between looking at what they cite and who cites them, you get a quickly growing research stack pretty quickly. If you can find case study articles out of Europe,…[Read more]

There are plenty of resources out there on this subject. Of all the books I’ve read on the subject, my two favorites are The Permaculture Designers Manual (Bill Mollison) and Regenerative Design for Sustainable Development (John Lyle). I like them because they are about an overall approach to sustainable design rather than just a few methods. A…[Read more]

Hi April,

I think Tanya’s points are very good; do you want to be a designer as well as a technician?

In hindsight, I would want to learn and apply more knowledge of materials and construction costs into my designs as a BLA candidate… I’m not sure if I had time for that though… it would have been good to do more detailing of the concepts I…[Read more]

My first question is – if you already have a degree why not go right into an MLA program? At least at my alma mater, people with other degrees put in a total of 3.5-4 years for a master’s…just food for thought.

People on this post are (understandably in this economy) suggesting a pragmatic approach to your education – training in specific…[Read more]

I am ready to be come haiti volunteer

please try to contact awaitingeyesfoundation uk

despite the fact that you have already found a BLA program, some of this information still applies, a lot of BLA programs have neglected if not abandoned the foundations of landscape architecture, ie part architect, part civil engineer, part horticulturist, in favor of emphasis on design process and conceptual thinking. Not that there is anything…[Read more]

Mr. Joseph:

I would love to assist remotely! I will forward my resume. I just enrolled in a Masters in Sustainability program which begins next week.

Here is my current portfolio, Tim and anyone else still following this thread.

I’d love to get some feedback.

The hardest part in creating this last version was cutting out 80% of my work.

Hello Richard!
Sorry for the late reply. I’m back in Montreal. The project of the association is going well. I now have preliminary list of professionnals in Morocco and working now on the constitution of the association. The IFLA seemed very excited by this! I hope that my collegues in Morocco will keep up the project going on!
Bye

I have the same questions Ashish, but have found difficulty getting answers. We’ll see if anyone chimes in.

You’re right, Jason – Manassas! One of my favorites – where Stonewall Jackson got his name..Used to take my dogs there..But the traffic!!!(to get there..)..And Skyline drive , CCC or WPA or whatever, LA’s on the gov dole in the thirties – still a gorgeous road..!! Gorgeous drawings for it’s construction..Thanks for reminding me of this stuff,…[Read more]

Aiken, SC just began a project, the Aiken Green Infrastructure Retrofit Project. Funding is from a stimulus grant, and it’s a pretty extensive project in collaboration with Clemson University. They’ll be measuring soil moisture, storm flow before and after treatment, and other hydrologic…[Read more]

you might also try the portfolios and resumes group.

Yes…there are. Like Great Falls mentioned below. There are also the Civil War Battlefield parks, especially dense in NoVA. There is also many landmarks such as Mount Vernon (which has a great new visitors center), the Pope-Leighey House (One of Wrights Usonian Homes), Old Town Alexandria, and Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway (highway along the…[Read more]

In Sydney, it is standard practice/policy to work with rainwater/run-off in both parks and residential developments ie. the site must deal with its’ own runoff etc according to best practice in sustainable development. I’m not sure how this relates to your work but I imagine the principles can be applied. You can look up sites like Victoria Park,…[Read more]

Ditto on the National Building Museum. a great visit and you can see the National Police Memorial located just across the street.
