Tim Daugherty replied to the topic WHY IS "ASLA"…..LIBERAL??? in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 4 years ago

  Caleb – nice article. Thanks for sharing. One thing that could probably be added (in terms of planting style) is “modern” or perhaps “architectural”.

I always think this is a good way for Landscape Architects to distinguish themselves from landscape construction/design build.

Yes, there is some aspects of professional craftsmanship and design knowledge involved in our education, but how deep into the technical weeds do we really need to get? Can’t a lot of these things be taught in…[Read more]

There was/is a program called LandFX that may do this. I don’t remember if it was a 3d package though as I never personally used it (I prefer a combo of SketchUp & Photoshop for digital graphics). Good luck!
