Hi Oona, I was involved in the Redwood Empire Chapter when I lived in Sonoma County. It did help me with networking and learning about specific sustainability topics. Suzan

Are you involved in your local USGBC chapter? How has it benefited your career, if at all?

JMW,

Many LA’s practice planning as a portion of their work. However, I hear much less of any public sector planners who also practice Landscape Architecture. I don’t have enough experience to consider my opinion credible as to why that seems to be the case, but I believe the understanding of “high design” as opposed to “conforming with the…[Read more]

So you’re a planner and LA?

Anyone…? Hello?

JMW posted an update in the group Planning Profession and Landscape Architecture 13 years, 3 months ago

Hello!

Just wanted to see how many planners-turned-LAs there are. I know there is a significant amount of shared history and values, but the technical skill set of LAs set them apart. I’m considering doing the switch myself, and plan on slowly picking up the skills part-time. Are there many who have done this? Any advice?

Richard E. Scott posted an update in the group Graphics Teacher Workshops 13 years, 11 months ago

I wanted to explain the comment below about me no longer teaching graphics workshops after 2011 (from good friend Brandon Reed). From mid-year 2011 forward, I’ll be teaching fine art workshops (drawing, watercolor, and oil painting). I have no plans on teaching Color Mastery or Freehand Perspective Sketching (workshops aimed at Landscape…[Read more]

I just signed up for the Color Mastery Class in February. If anybody is interested in splitting the cost of a hotel room, feel free to send me a message.

would anyone be interested in selling their used workbooks from the workshops to me? I live in Australia and in the near future, not able to travel to the States to attend the graphic workshops.

Here in india, i do not think how much points or requiremrnt is fulfilled as per LEED USA, but green building is done in india on based on india green building council .
explain more about your projects about commerical/ factory/ park /residentials.

Susannah posted an update in the group LEED in Landscape Architecture 14 years, 5 months ago

Does anybody have any experience with LEED projects in India? We are working on a possible LEED ND project in Tamil Nadu and I’m not sure how some of the US requirements will transfer over there. Is the USGBC pretty amenable to adjusting the prerequisites based on differences in infrastructure systems?

Thank you Eric for your feedback – invaluable information since many have been asking about the LEED GA exam.

Eric Shepley posted an update in the group LEED in Landscape Architecture 14 years, 9 months ago

Just sat for the GA Exam and passed on the first attempt. It’s definitely distilled down from the old version of the exams. From my perspective the LEED GA is a great credential for LAs to have the distinction, but without having to go through the specialty portions that are beyond our typical work. Sustainable Sites is where I’m placing my emphasis.

Matthew Schafer posted an update in the group LEED in Landscape Architecture 14 years, 9 months ago

That’s fantastic to know USGBC is taking SiTES seriously. Alot of fellow designers have been very concerned about how SITES and LEED will integrate or if any integration will take place at all!?!?! There are so many great things about SITES that it would be a shame for LEED to miss. Thanks for the note, Heather!

Heather L. Venhaus posted an update in the group LEED in Landscape Architecture 14 years, 9 months ago

Hey Folks! Just a quick note to say hello and introduce myself. After completing the 2009 report, I resigned as project manager of the Sustainable Sites Initiative to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with my 7 month old son. I am currently working with the USGBC as a subject matter expert to incorporate portions of the Sustainable…[Read more]
