I have a MAJOR problem with this entire article! The first problem is that this author lives in “Berkley, California”…..and my guess is this person’s political beliefs are extremely “Liberal”. So, you have to keep this in mind when reading this article.

All this Liberal talk about “We will have to establish a NEW Normal”…we can never go…[Read more]

I wish ALL recent LA Graduates the “Best of Luck”. But, here’s the problem I see now (besides the COVID-19 virus slowing design work down)….,.I counted (72) U.S. Universities that offer Landscape Architecture Degrees & (6) Universities in Canada. I’m guessing the average size of each Graduating Class is approx. (45) Graduates…..so, that’s w…[Read more]

Seriously…all we seem to get here on LAND 8 with these BLOGS are…..Liberal leaning articles telling us “THE SKY IS FALLING”…..Landscape Architects MUST do something.
The “Planet Earth” is always changing…seas rise and fall…weather is always changing & it always will. Does anyone really truly believe that mankind can “change” the…[Read more]

Assuming…that everything written here is “true”……I’m wondering. WHY did Barack & Michelle Obama (both major advocates of the “green energy movement & climate change issues”…..purchase a very expensive, multi-million Residence in the Cape Cod area…on several Acres of land that are right on the Atlantic Ocean? I’ve seen photos of that…[Read more]

Yes……the Seas on Planet Earth have been rising now for centuries. However, according to NASA, the average amount of “Rising Sea Level” per year is now .1 (that’s point 1 inches) per year. How can you even measure that? IMO, this topic is way over blown. Just more “Liberal” rhetoric.

If everyone is so concerned about rising seas and…[Read more]

P.S………Besides, the auto industry in America (along with Oil & Gasoline) are MAJOR driving forces in our Nation’s economy. Oh, it’s nice to “discuss” concepts like AV’s….but, these type of vehicles are WAY OFF IN OUR FUTURE!!! Can anyone even “imagine” the cost to remove all of our existing streets and highways…and force every American t…[Read more]

Just for a CHANGE…..would it be “possible” if we could get some well written BLOG Articles that are written by someone is NOT a “Very Far Left Liberal”…..Landscape Architects who have “practical” solutions……instead of farfetched solutions that would cost us literally Trillions of dollars. Besides, even if we all joined together here in…[Read more]

Really, the Earth is expected to have almost 10 Billion People by the year 2050??? According to AOC in the U.S. House of Representatives here in the U.S……if we don’t solve the problem of “CLIMATE CHANGE”…..there will be ZERO people on this Planet.
So, if she’s correct, that invalidates your article.

Hello Angus…….That’s all well and good; However, part of the role of the Landscape Architect on EVERY design project is to give good “guidance” to the client. I would have simply explained to the neighborhood committee….that people walking, jogging and biking move more easily through a space…..when the pathways are “curved”. I’m all for p…[Read more]

I really enjoyed this article….and all of the great visuals. Looking @ the very first graphic…..I’m just wondering “why” the bike path isn’t curved throughout? I can see some slight turns in the bike path with “angles”…….just feel “curves” would work best for biking.
