I am interested in some LID continuing education resources (books, classes, conferences, etc).  Any recommendations?

Save the date! Be on the lookout for information for “Landscapade”.  A reason for LA alumni to come back to campus, socialize and enjoy KSU take on Iowa State.  December 3-4.

Need more reasons to attend the event?
Now you have the perfect one!

Glad to join KSU group as I spent over 18 year as LA faculty.

Witam, zapraszam wszystkich na konferencję do Krakowa

JMW,
 
Many LA’s practice planning as a portion of their work. However, I hear much less of any public sector planners who also practice Landscape Architecture. I don’t have enough experience to consider my opinion credible as to why that seems to be the case, but I believe the understanding of “high design” as opposed to “conforming with the…[Read more]

So you’re a planner and LA?

Anyone…? Hello?

Tanya, thanks for the advice. My first option would be to get professional experience in restoration design before I go back to school and I’m very much looking into that but also looking to keep my options open. Also, thanks for the advice about the portfolio, that’s something that I’m aware of but it slipped my mind at the time. Changing now, thanks!

Hey Charles – rather than spending more $$$ you might try an internship with someplace like Barr Engineering in Minneapolis – they have a lengthy restroration portfolio. If you want hands-on experience you might call them to ask who does the installation of their projects. Ann Riley’s Waterways Restoration Institute in Berkley, CA might be a g…[Read more]

Just what I wanted…more green streets!

Hi all. Just excited to get into some design forums on Japanese landscape architecture.

Hello!

Just wanted to see how many planners-turned-LAs there are. I know there is a significant amount of shared history and values, but the technical skill set of LAs set them apart. I’m considering doing the switch myself, and plan on slowly picking up the skills part-time. Are there many who have done this? Any advice?

Thanks. It looks good! Now for a big rain to see it in action!

new shiny pics I took today..

Water is allowed to enter then exit the raingarden farther down grade…. in a small to medium event most precip will be captured and perc in these areas. It is Florida so larger rain events will be allowed to overflow and enter into the existing culverts at intersections.

Hello! I know that there are some manuals which Japanese Garden Designers use when designing gardens. There are garden parts samples and even garden sample schemes. Where is it posssible to get such manuals?

So does the water go through in the right hand corner of each cell? Or is each cell a separate containment area?

OK- let’s save the world!  Glad to be among the initiated here…
