Land8: Landscape Architects Network

Thought I’d do my initial group check-in.

I hope all is well with everyone.

Still can’t find that old portfolio. How is everyone doing, OK? Really quite out there.
How is the work flow in your areas.

I was fortunate enough to take Richard Scott’s rendering classes in school at Cal Poly Pomona and a water coloring class with him in Florence.

The man is brilliant. He completely understands the art and the science of color, perspective and technique and knows how to utilize them very well. I would more than recommend taking any courses you can…[Read more]

Mark,
I’m taking Richard Scott’s Graphic Workshop this weekend in Philly. While I’m happy with my graphics I think its important to explore new options. I’ll let you know what I think after this weekend.

Does anyone remember how well the heating system worked? seems like it was 125 degrees in January

please visit my account and look for my gallery, i used ad chartpak markers for my renderings.

to justin, u were refering to the brownfield site. a master thesis by ledrew s.p from the university of calgary, an ecological design approach to urban landscape reconstruction might be helpful.

Yes, perspective drawings and conceptual sketches are an ideal way to convey an idea. There is the engineering element but it is dependant on each project involving rockwork. Hope that helps.

Algunos ya lo han visto. Vale la pena colgarlo para que lo vea más gente:

I got this picture from a book called “Riverscapes: designing urban embankments”and that was the location credited in the book. So maybe we should write to the publisher and tell them to correct it. Thanks for clarifying..I hope to be able to visit this beach in person soon. 🙂

I’m looking for someone in this forum that has experience working for or with the firm SALCO? Are they well regarded within the landscape construction industry? More importantly, are they a good employer?

I’ve been aware of SSI but hadn’t seen their latest report. Go to: http://www.sustainablesites.org
You’ll find a link to the report on the first page. I must say, the “documentation” requirements suggested in this report read like an undergraduate studio assignment for a year-long class. My recent work on a small LEED project looks like a total of…[Read more]
