Hmm, a ja tak banalnie może, ale właśnie wróciłam z kidasmi z przedszkola, i tak mi się skojarzyło, że tak jak żadne mądre rady i nauczanie w szkołach rodzenia (przepraszam za skojarzenie) nie uczy jak być rodzicem, tak chyba żadna szkoła nie do końca wykształci architekta krajobrazu, bo kazdy z nas ma inne oczekiwania i postrzeganie rz…[Read more]

I thought it was great – especially Dominique’s experience with SSI for Lenexa City Center project. Several of the pre-requisites were un-achievable on that one.

Great idea for a group!

I’m glad to see someone else interested in SSI! I’m working on a children’s garden project for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We’re designing the project to the preliminary draft SSI credits in hopes to create a sustainable landscape project, test the credits and criteria and eventually hopefully become a pilot project.

Well, the Design Competition has officially begun, We are very happy to announce there are 18 competing teams/individuals.
