I know that Marni Barnes teaches a class on therapeutic landscape design at the UC Berkeley Extension, and there may be others as well. But for hort.…[Read more]

Welcome, Chris and Marina! Chris, can’t wait to see your photos – will you post them here? Would also be happy to share on the TLDBlog, or elsewhere and of course we’ll want to add any sites to the Database that aren’t already there.

And Marina, tell us more about the conference, it sounds fascinating. I wonder if we can get trascripts, or if…[Read more]

Hi!

Theme was therapeutic gardens, horticultural therapy, landscapes with healing essences – my special reasarch theme.

Has anyone taken Richard Scott’s Sketching on location workshop?

I noted Rico listed Ace Torre as an influence. I recently completed an extensive article profiling Torre for next month’s (May 09) issue of Landscape Architecture Magazine. It’s an in-depth look at his design drawing philosophies and techniques, with step by step photos of Torre in the studio creating one of his famous “tilt-up” aerial drawings.

Whilst I am glad you all find the discussion useful – let’s avoid blank statements and overlooking the progress some applications had achieved. Every release of each application brings many new and sometimes very good features. Some of these upgrades make a huge difference and change the appeal of the software.
