LEED in Landscape Architecture 15 years, 6 months ago
I’ve been aware of SSI but hadn’t seen their latest report. Go to: http://www.sustainablesites.org
You’ll find a link to the report on the first page. I must say, the “documentation” requirements suggested in this report read like an undergraduate studio assignment for a year-long class. My recent work on a small LEED project looks like a total of…[Read more] -

Hello everyone
and a slight correction to Claudia, Crosby Beach is near Liverpool. The Liverpudlians would be very annoyed to hear the beach has moved.

iT IS MOSTLY CULLET DISPOSAL AND HEAVY METALS (LEAD), MOST OTHER CONTAMINENTS WHERE FULLY REMOVED. I WAS ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN BIO – PHYRO REMEDIATIONS BUT HAD NOT FOUND A GREAT DEAL OF INFO ON THEM.

I watched the videos of Colombia and Bosnia, by the way…thanks for posting those. I tried to find a nice video of North or South Carolina to show you, but couldn’t find a good one. I will post some pictures though. Here’s one of the Blue Ridge mountains near Asheville, NC, about an hour away from where I live.
and here is just a little video…[Read more]

the photo is of a sculpture at Crosby Beach, near London. There are many iron figures in various locations along the beach, both in and near the water. The artist is named Anthony Gormley.

Welcome new members! If any of you are students and are in need of a simple project, the TLN is looking for someone to document how many of the 155 teaching hospitals in the U.S. have therapeutic landscapes or some other type of restorative outdoor space. Anyone interested? Could become a great thesis…

Ya i defentenly plan on trying to use Bioretention techniques, but this is not a exectly a mitigation techniques it is a stormwater solution, i need some way to extract or mitigate the heavy metals that are with in the soil and water on site, bioretention will help in preventing them to go to the stream but then they are still on site in the soil.

Bioretention is a technique that can be used in nearly any environment, including brownfields, as a water quality control.
