Hey Charles.. what do you mean by nonwoven material for a base? Are you referring to the waterproof backing or the felt?

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 interested in the practical application of landscape sustainability in residential settings and look…[Read more]

Nashville adopts form-based code for downtown

Sory pomyłka nie o izbę architektów ale o SARP.

Z tego co sie oriętuję to do Izyb Architektów nie da sie zapisac ot tak sobie… trzeba skoczyc architekutre, 2 lata praktyki w biurze, rok na budowie + egzamin panstwowy…

Chciałam się Was jeszcze zapytac co sądzicie o zapisywaniu się do zrzeszeń takich jak SARP,OSTO, SPAK czy Zieleń Polska? Mam koleżankę która dzięki zapisaniu się do Izby Architektów zdobywa coraz to fajniejsze zlecenia na duże tereny publiczne a nie same ogródki. Zastanawiam się jak to funkcjonuje w Waszych województwach.
Jaką macie metodę na…[Read more]

Podzielam zdanie Dominiki. Raczej indywidualny projekt i do tego albo dobry stolarz który zna się na pracy w drewnie na zewnątrz, albo (jeśłi to konstrukcja metalowa) to dobry ślusarz. Nie ma co się rozpędzać z projektem wykonawczym bo i tak każdy z nich ma swoje technologie połączeń. Chyba że łączenia mają być “dizajnerskie”……[Read more]

Anito, z moich doświadczeń kiepsko raczej na rynku z oryginalnymi produktami, polecam projekt indywidualny 🙂 Pytanie jeszcze jakiego typu ma to być wiata i jaką funkcje pełnić? W razie czego pisz na priv, służę pomocą.

Poszukuję jakichś fajnych wiat / altan o nowoczesnym “dizajnie”, jakiejś alternatywy dla drewnianych, sześciokątnych altan… pomocy, plis…

Ashley- In urban settings, supplemental irrigation is advantageous for the summer-dry months. Specifically, I’ve used inline subsurface drip. Quality growing medium like compost is important too, along with mycorrhizal fungi applications to help plants thrive through root establishment. Some native plant material I have used are: Juncus…[Read more]

The only requirement for running for office is being a citizen and the ability to raise money.

The legislator happens to be a brick mason. I heard that only 30 percent of the people in the Washington legislature have college degrees. This might say something about their lack of support for teachers, colleges and universities.

Aren’t politicians wonderful? Did he do an apprenticeship to qualify for the bar exam?

does anyone know how rain gardens thrive in the Bay Area? I am wondering because right now, its the rainy season, so everything is getting a lot of water – but when it is summer and dry, how do the plants in the rain garden get their water? What plants do you suggest putting in the rain garden?

In order to pass the new practice act in Washington, we had to capitulate to a legislator who said he “is an apprentice kind of guy”. So now the state LA Board is drawing up rules for the act’s implementation. One of the areas being addressed is this aspect of the legislation. As it stands now, the law gives a big boost to kids of licensed…[Read more]

Hello all
For those of you in the San Fran Bay Area registration for the tour of East Bay native plant gardens just opened. Went last year, will go again this year. http://www.BringingBacktheNatives.net

Thanks much to Chad and Charles. Are there specific details that you used, or did you just design your own details for each specific site? I’m going to look at SSI and see if there are any parking lots in their case studies; looking for pictures of good examples to show client that it can look good as well as earn them LEED credits!

Naomi-
If 6″ curbs are a must, explore the possibility of using curb cuts at regular intervals or where it makes sense….the cuts will still allow runoff to enter the depression. Clay soils? Maybe grade soil towards a central trench/basin filled with gravel. Put an underdrain at the bottom of the gravel and follow Charles’ suggestion of piping…[Read more]
