Also just driving around Downtown is great, Albert C. Most of the streets have great focal points at the end of the sight lines.

Brad, you will love being in Colorado. Welcome.

Susan told me you started this group! Sounds like a great idea! I am interested to see what ideas come out of it.

Excellent idea, Jennifer!

Hey all…LA in Kenya is stil young, we have to keep justifying ourselves more often than not. I recently started working at an engineering firm and i must say its a bit lonely.

I’ve been aware of SSI but hadn’t seen their latest report. Go to: http://www.sustainablesites.org
You’ll find a link to the report on the first page. I must say, the “documentation” requirements suggested in this report read like an undergraduate studio assignment for a year-long class. My recent work on a small LEED project looks like a total of…[Read more]

Thanks. I’m trying to get some of my classmates on. Eric Higginson is one so far. I know there are more that are working in Fort Collins at local firms.

Welcom, Eric..

I am a landscape designer working towards my professional registration as a Landscape Architect. I received my BSLA from Arizona State University in May ’05 and have been working for one of the largest engineering design firms for over 3 years now. Our office has one RLA, but our supervisor is a PE. The main advantage here is that I am learning…[Read more]

Hey all! I’m actually a post grad student at UCLA but will be transferring to the Denver program. Just wanted to start making some contacts.
Best,

I recently relocated to Iowa from Arizona. I’m the only LA in my firm and the guys here seem to understand the want for the LA side of projects. The harder sell is to the clients, especially when I don’t get put in contact with them until a plan is needed to meet city requirements. Any suggestions as to convincing the Project Manager to bring me…[Read more]

Hi i am new to this group and i feel your pain!

Hey, everyone. Let’s get some discussions going. I’ve noticed that the top 5 active groups are always displayed on the main Lounge page. It would be cool to have this group always active and highlighted. Please, feel free to start your own discussions, no need to wait for me.

The Sunshine State…searching for that perfect orange.

Note: Buildings are “certified”, people are “accredited” – a possible question on the test according to a USGBC study group I went to. I am taking the test in December.

Great group thread….Here are a few of my favorite quotes made to engineers over the years…perhaps you can relate?!
“Rectangular ponds are great….if you’re treating raw sewage”
“Yes, all those trees are necessary…..to hide your handiwork”
“Remember, Jesus was a carpenter because Landscape Architecture wasn’t invented yet..”
“Apparently…[Read more]
