The Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) is gaining momentum with an announcement they have certified the nation’s first three projects.  As a landscape architect professional, would you become a SITES AP?

Hi Oona, I was involved in the Redwood Empire Chapter when I lived in Sonoma County. It did help me with networking and learning about specific sustainability topics. Suzan

Actually, I did those relatively new to the profession a bit of a service by pointing out to them one  far more affordable and easily accessible alternative than the costly online option your self-promoting here.
I have no qualms with the value and utility of your online course, I just find the asking price, far too steep and so would most…[Read more]

Sami, 
I’d recommend using ‘landscape designer’ (I’ve seen this most often) or maybe even ‘recent landscape architect graduate’. If you use ‘landscape architect in-training’ check w/your state registration board to make sure that there aren’t any ‘conflicts’. 
As far as looking for jobs: the ones that generally apply to college grads would be ‘…[Read more]

I remember the saying “Those that can’t do – teach”
 

Hey Page:
 
You need to really get a clue here. It appears your somewhat disconnected from the true reality of the marketplace. Let me be specific, in case you can’t be.
There is massive unemployment in the design professions and thast has been pervasive going on nearly three years. You are offering a “sure-fire” or “near-fire” portfolio and…[Read more]

Sami,
One of my recent students listed their current job as “landscape architect in training” to avoid this snafu.
I would suggest visiting the ASLA job board to see how others with your level of experience are handling it.  Here are some samples of student portfolio websites that include resumes for other ideas on wording and layout: Samples r…[Read more]

I have a quick question about resumes.  I will be graduating this coming May will my BLA.  I am in the process of cleaning up my resume and cover letter.  In looking for jobs to apply for, I always search landscape architecture, since that is my specific degree.  I am not yet, however, a registered landscape architect since I am entry level.  Ca…[Read more]

Hi! I see you make projects of playgrounds. Don`t you want to distribute our equipment in Hungary? See our products here http://www.ksil.eu and contact me if you decide

@Chris. The guide from mr. Haskin is terrific. Thanks a lot for sharing this, very useful. I was wondering how to get this effect for quite a long time, since I am autodidactic. Appreciate it.

Hi Daniel!
I became a promember of Land8 and I´m seeing some of Daniel Tal´s webinars on Sketchup. They are really easy to follow and very useful. There are also some photoshop webinar recordings but I haven´t been able to see those yet.
Hope this helps!

Hey There,
I have spent the last 3 years in a technical project management position and have become a bit rusty in the are of computer graphics using Sketchup and Photoshop in combination with each other.  Obviously, this is such an integral part of practicing our profession these days so I want to get better at this.
 
I live in the Portland, O…[Read more]

Quite useful!

I had problems the whole time I was in school with my desktop crashing because my video card didn’t have enough umph. What solved the problem was more memory in the video card itself. You can also check the auto-cad sight to make sure any card you are thinking of getting is ok with auto-cad. The laptop I bought when I graduated is a 64-bit with a…[Read more]
