PLEASE let me know if you are interested. thanks -michael

i think we should have different scales and classes
 

Tad, I don’t know why Russ would write it as 1:4. That’s not the “conventional” way of doing it.

Ray and everyone,
 
I am taking B here shortly but I have a lingering question about the slope steepness ratio method.  Norman Booth is writing it horizontal first, verical second 4:1(Basic Elements of Landscape Architectural Design, page 31).  Thomas Russ is writing it in reverse 1:4 (Site Planning and Design, Page 125) Is there a reason why the…[Read more]

Is a great LARE Section A Flashcard set to look at.
 

You would have to hace specific rules i.e. how much post production is allowed?

(Land 8 Lounge digital challenge CHAMPION) it should be i picture of a cougar or something badass like that.

I like the idea of a digital badge to put on your profile pic like some site overseers have the 8 logo in theirs

think there should be a small fee so there could be a prize? idk how this would work but i would like to put something up make things real. we should come up with a digital badge for your profile… that would be cool.
 

well, any suggestions would be appreciated… its still a concept now so lets make it great. i want some excitement…

Personally, I would rather see it opened up to other render engines as well, partially because I use a different one than 3DS now, and also because it would be a good way for people unfamiliar with the strengths of different programs to see what they can do.

bring it on 😛

start start start 😀

start the competition ;))

Curly,
 
The LATC has it’s own standards on eligibility to take the exam. You can get info off their web site.
 
The webinars are recorded. I think if you register as a pro member thru Land 8 you can view the webinar content at your leisure. Check with Andrew Spiering (the founder of the site) on procedures.

Hi. Just joined the discussion and the section D seminar.
(1) How do I check out the 1st part of section D that I missed 6 hours ago?
(2) I’ve passed sections A and B.  B on the first try and A on the second.  I was able to take them because I received an AA in Landscape Architecture from Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, NV in ’09.  …[Read more]

has anyone used ‘view’ seems like a really good program im about to start learning… any suggestions?

Hi all, 
 
I am retaking Section B in March and trying to focus on my weaknesses which from the diagnostic feedback seem to be the Inventory and Analysis Sections.
Would anyone have any recommendations of certain chapters to read through? (That would pertain to Inventory and Analysis) I have all the reference books for B.  I am afraid I will st…[Read more]

Please use the group forum to post questions, discussion topics, and to setup study groups, etc.
 
Thanks!

I like it a lot.  It takes you through the entire process.  the analysis, programming for the different types of designs, sustainability, grading, infrastructure, and restoring and preserving landscapes.
I’m glad I bought it, for the test and for after.
