Meaning of Name

[Scott Jones]

Hi All,

What is the 8 referencing in Land8?

Or in other words what does Land8 mean?

I understand the ‘Land’ part I figure, but not the eight.

Land date?… a date with the land…?

Or something about the number 8 in reference with landscape architecture.

What’s the intended meaning?

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Scott

LAND AID ??

Help Mother Earth and us all

[Ernst Glaeser]

Scott, what are you smoking? Is the imagination going?

What’s the meaning of Land8, as to the Land and 8 being put together as such?

[Phil Moorehead]

Number 8? I always thought it was an upward facing infinity symbol, as in; “Land to infinity and beyond!”…lounge. (Sorry. I was wondering the same thing the other day, and I have no idea)

We are not allowed to tell you what the ‘8’ means. Instead you will have to figure it out for yourself through a series of clues hidden throughout the website. The answer will astound you!

Once you understand the true meaning of the ‘8’, you will become a full member in the lounge. Until then… good luck.

Once you find the answer you must forward it to 10 friends ….

Phil is on the right track! 

The number 8 has numerous symbolic associations throughout all cultures:

• Perfect rhythm
• Regeneration/A New Beginning
• Infinity
• Without an end
• Friendship
• Interconnections
• Harmony
• Multiplicity

Plus, there are eight winds and intermediate directions of space: N, S, E, W, NE, SE, SW and NW

Very interesting,… that makes my think of other numbers and their numerous associations, such as ….,6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13,… but maybe 8 has the most comprehensive fit with ‘Land’ in the direction of landscape architecture as a practice.   The symbolic associations you’ve presented cover a tremendous range, potentially infinite range.

Thank you Lara, and the community

You are very welcome! Thanks for continuing to ask questions and actively engaging in conversations =)

Blah Blah Blah – it’s just a lucky eight ball symbol to make you feel good about being a member.

…or, 8 could suggest to renew in the unknown; 7 days in a week…on the eighth day we take a leap of faith into a new adventure…8, the atomic number for oxygen…together, breathe in a new beginning…

Wasn’t this site founded in 2008?

[Edward A Kinney, MLA RLA ISA AZA]

I always figured it was a nod to West8.

[Scott Jones]

I think that’s the winner, hence the hush of explanation that I’ve known.

Good to know about West8.  It’s ok, we all have our secret or not so secret inspirations.
