Mr. Lin,
 
when will your next 7 day workshop be in the United states?

Landscape architects always get confused for “landscapers” and until the general public understand the profession of landscape architecture, this will never change.

Hello! Any CMLIs here? Who can mentor me on my P2C by skype?

Yes I think landscape architecture in the UK needs a boost in profile. I can’t understand, for example, why the top universities don’t offer landscape architecture courses?

So, the cream hardscape and buildings really popped after i tried to…[Read more]

Hi all I’ve just uploaded some of my latest university drawings please send any positive criticism. Thanks.

So much to learn from you lot, hopefully contribute some stuff that may be of interest. All abstract and still learning the basics of Vector/sketch up etc. Being a Mac user can you survive with out AutoCad? ( can’t do the Windows Geekdom thing)
