You’re sketches are great! What tools do you use for rendering?

Thanks! I’m thinking about uploading more sketches, I think it’s good practice to attempt a sketch everyday.

Unfortunately my class never got the opportunity to experience either of those programs within our curriculum. My program was in the middle of a transition revamping the curriculum and my class had the privilege (slightly sarcastic) of being the guinea pigs.

I think it would be greatly beneficial and place students at the fore front of design (or close to) if they could explore and work with these 3d programs. As I’m applying to internships it’s evident that working in 3D programs is something that is a common practice now. although, if an applicant has a robust set of tools and basic experience within different aspects of design I do believe they still have as great a chance of landing a position at a firm as someone who may have experience with 3D programs.

I’m not sure and often have been wondering if the profession will come out stronger or weaker myself. As a student (3rd year LA) I have seen a growing almost balloon like of enrollment in the LA field, since my 1st year I have witnessed through friends and going to conferences programs with larger than average student numbers in different parts of the country.

The issue I see is a number of students who truly just want to own their own landscaping company and really have no desire to work in the broader aspects of LA such as land planning or large scale development. Whether this makes the profession weaker or stronger? I’m not sure yet. However, with greater interest in Landscape Architecture I think a lot of work will get done to create sustainable living practices as common tasks for everyday life. Which we all know is a good thing in the end.
