L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 9 years, 9 months agoHello all. Awesome resource here, looking to put it to use. I am beginning the process of studying for the LARE exam in December here in Northern California. I was sad to miss Ray Freeman’s course at Berkeley in June, but it just didn’t work out for me. Anyone have suggestions for upcoming classes to take? Also, I found a website http://www.ppi2pass.com…[Read more]

A year ago I began studying for Section 4 again, after failing it in December 2012. After passing last April, friends asked me to teach an online class geared toward this section, which is trickier than the others. Next week is the first live Q&A session in my 3-part webinar series. More info is in the attached flyer, and…[Read more] -

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoMatt – From what I understand, the U.S. Botanic Garden does not support the lawsuit. I believe this to be true because out of the three organizations, the U.S. Botanic Garden has the greatest legal resources and influence. If the USBG was unhappy with the trademark request as filed by UT, they would have joined the legal battle to stop it and w…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoThanks for your insights. Having worked on a Pilot Project for some time I have a great deal of respect for SITES and the comprehensive approach it brings. I can’t believe that there is some kind of a power struggle going on over what is essentially the bookkeeping. However, stepping back I don’t think that any one of the partners should ha…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoMatt – Currently, SITES is not a separate entity. The Executive Committee is made up of the ASLA, the Wildflower Center which is a part of UT and the US Botanic Garden. SITES staff who work with the various committees and lead the development of the metric and educational materials are located in Austin at the Wildflower Center. Liz Guthrie, Ma…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoSince the petition from ASLA and press release from UT are contradictory, please help me understand what’s going on with the following questions:
- UT States: “UT has never had a formal partnership or any legal agreement with ASLA, despite our efforts over the past two years to develop one.” ASLA states : ” The SITES trademarks were developed th…

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoIn regards to the ASLA SITES Petition update, publicly airing dirty laundry is rarely a good idea. Particularly when it is smattered with childish comments and obviously intended to discredit a former partner. Landscape Architects and many others in the site design industry have worked tirelessly to prove our value to the green building in…[Read more]

Heather L. Venhaus posted an update in the group
The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoThe legal petition from ASLA and the formal response from UT definitely tell two different sides of the story. Regardless of which side you fall, we should all agree that litigation is not good for SITES or the profession as a whole. SITES v2 and the reference guide are scheduled to be released in the next couple months and projects will f…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoCharles – you obviously have not read SITES closely or either don’t understand it. It is a performance base metric – the opposite of prescriptive design. Also, I challenge you to certify a project. In my work, I have found that those who believe they have been “doing it for 40 years” have great difficulty meeting the minimum criteria.

Charles A. Warsinske posted an update in the group
The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoInteresting. Two entities fighting over who will make money selling another guide to prescriptive design. There is nothing new in the SITES project except adding points up to get to some magical level so you can pin a gold star on your wall. We really don’t need another entity telling us how to design sustainable projects. We have been doi…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 10 years, 6 months agoHi Heather – definitely disappointing to see. Just saw the announcements; have read both press statements that describe very different points of view. What do you think the key disagreement is and what will take to resolve?
