Welcome, Chris and Marina! Chris, can’t wait to see your photos – will you post them here? Would also be happy to share on the TLDBlog, or elsewhere and of course we’ll want to add any sites to the Database that aren’t already there.

And Marina, tell us more about the conference, it sounds fascinating. I wonder if we can get trascripts, or if…[Read more]

Hi!

There was also guest from Washington University in Seattle, Daniel Winterbottom, great work in therapeutic landscape architecture. So, hear you…[Read more]

I have finally found a home! Hello group! Clare Cooper Marcus helped send me on a journey to thirteen therapeutic gardens and I hope to share my pictures and resources with everyone. We have an incredible honor as both landscape architects and care givers and the more we collaborate and share our work and research, the better care we’ll give to…[Read more]

p.s. Sandra, if you find other gardens that aren’t on the TLD, please let me know and I’ll add them – that goes for anywhere, including Portugal. We are always expanding our database.

Hi all, I am a landscape architect who has recently relocated to Abu Dhabi and is looking for work. Any suggestions or better still – anyone know of any companies who are currently hiring?? It seems, like always, networking is the best way to get into any company so thought I would try my luck here!
Thanks!

Well, I have been away for awhile.
I have been looking at the use of Maya Dynamics to force design.

It is kind of fun but I don’t know if it will go anywhere. Has anyone used
any of the dynamic functions in Maya (Airfield, Gravity, Newtonian field etc)?

There really is no boundary. The goal is to stimulate creativity. If the plastic plant roof has meaning and purpose beyond just looking unique then then i would want to hear about it. I think that what ever we do that is creative must be a mix of art with purpose. A lot of people end up posting cool pictures on Land8, but without explanation they…[Read more]

Hi to all you middle east Landscapers…………….

When in Landscape Architecture out of the Box? What defines the boundry. I can think of a roofscape-with plastic plants-that to me is cearly art not Landscape. Does just being unusual mean out of the box.
