yes its not a question of ignoring McHarg, they have already taking the layering into consideration many, many generations ago without McHarg’s input – but with their own collective knowledge, memory and experience with water vs land vs resources.
McHarg-ism was not going to stop at 25 foot wall of water, at 550 m/p/h.

Japan does not have the luxury of McHargs “rocket science”.. its a small, crowded island country with few energy sources. 125 million people live in a country the size of the state of Montana.They already take extreme stewardship over what little land they use and have.
The japanese are some of the most resourceful people around, esp when it comes…[Read more] -

one can create a ‘portfolio photo album’, and send potential employers directly to your land8 homepage link to have a look.i see that as an alternative while working on a separate portfolio. of course, there may be a slight…[Read more]

i was just viewing your drawings on your home page.. i like the Stadium renderings, especially colorful plan views. (#51,52,55 etc)… were they done in sketchup and 3D ? i cant really tell, but i like the edges of the colors.

thanks! i cannot afford 3Dmax anyhow right now, (on my own)…. so i will push to learn Kerkythea also. i may do a search of rendered landscape examples using Kerk to see the look.

there are many styles of writing, might depend on the format and audience.
for me it’s casual here on the computer, (unless emailing to clients or for business etc)… but this is like email, spelling is important, but perfect grammar? naww… why take out all the fun on a social network site?

Cliff See replied to the topic Software Alternatives in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 14 years, 3 months ago
yeah, hi, i find the same issue, working on my own for now and using Autocad. Pshop and Sketchup. Thought i might try Vworks, but too expensive to just “try out”. same goes for Rhino, i wanted to try that out, too expensive.
so for now…. just staying with what we know and have, the top software companies probably like it that way..!
