Strut your stuff! Two opportunities with ASLA: http://tldb.blogspot.com/. Will announce the call for student awards when it comes around, too.

Let me introduce myself. I am the state representative for Michigan for the APLD. I will be bringing educational events to the area. I welcome any comments or questions regarding this.

I prefer generation hand drawn perspectives in pencil, then overlay with white trash using Pentel Sign Pen for line work and Chart Pak for color.

I like Copic Markers

Scholarship opportunity for landscape architecture grad students wanting to conduct research. See more on the Therapeutic Landscapes Database Blog: http://tldb.blogspot.com/ and spread the word – deadline is soon!

You’re welcome, Rico! Let me know how it goes – always looking for more examples of therapeutic landscapes to add to the database (http://www.healinglandscapes.org/sites.html).

It will Naomi, thanks. I’m sure will help. Hoping I could do one in the future for my son who has DS, and maybe for the school he is in right now.

God bless you!

Hello Naomi.

I haven’t really delved deeply in the resources provided by you…but a quick question: any resources on spaces and Down’s Syndrome people?

Thanks.

NAQI IS MY FRIEND…AND HE REALLY TALENTED IN WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE…

i luv water color the most.i can do marker too. im more towards hand randered for originality and naturalistic

i love to render my artwork by using marker color…..but i also know to use other medium like watercolor and pencil color..but marker i like he most

Dear Naomi, nice to see you here. Thank you for sharing ^_^

thank you

Hi Bill,

Exactly, LandFx uses hatch patterns instead of trying to place the poly line around the shrubs, and calling out the emitters in the schedule. I think its much cleaner this way.

No it wont warn you of increased precip rates (we still have to use our brains as designers)…..

As APLD International’s Chapter Chair, I have questions for all APLD members (or potential members): What do you enjoy about being a member of a regional or state APLD chapter? What could be improved on? If you are not a chapter member, what would you want from a chapter membership?

I am currently finishing up my last year of a B.S Landscape Architecture at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. I am from the Northern Virginia, have worked in all forms of the field from nursery sales, installation, inspection, and design. I aspire to be a master at my skill. I would like to design Sustainable Urban Sites, with creative,…[Read more]

Yeah, it looks like a great time saver. Although anything is faster then the way I do it, so I’m probably no the best person to judge. Are you asking if you should draw in the spaghetti and/or the poly? Too much detail is a waste IMO. The contractor won’t follow it anyway. The hatch patterns look fine. You’ve called out the emitter size for each…[Read more]

Hello folks,

I have uploaded a sample drip plan that I designed using LandFx irrigation. (I’ve been using the software for 5 years now) I’d like to know what you think of the way LandFx handles drip irrigation. The page also explains how LandFx calcs the drip areas (its very cool.)
