Hi all, I am a landscape architect who has recently relocated to Abu Dhabi and is looking for work. Any suggestions or better still – anyone know of any companies who are currently hiring??

Hi here is a lecture that might be of interest to you. You can take part of it on the internet. It is done through a special software which you will have to download (see instructions bellow).

Katrina, to clarify, UCBG and Tilden are in Berkeley and Merritt College is in Oakland.

The South Lake Tahoe and North Lake Tahoe Demonstration Gardens show a plethora of California Native plants used in the high Sierra. These gardens give great examples of California Native plants at diffrent stages of development.

Agree with Blake — the Merritt program is great. I also volunteered at Tilden’s native nursery on Thursday mornings — propagating, etc. It was a great way to learn about natives. U.C. Botanical Garden and the Tilden Park (native) Botanical Garden are both stunning places to check out CA natives in a park setting.

you may also want to check out the horticulture program at Merritt College for i.d. classes. http://www.merrritt.edu

Well, I have been away for awhile.
I have been looking at the use of Maya Dynamics to force design.

It is kind of fun but I don’t know if it will go anywhere. Has anyone used
any of the dynamic functions in Maya (Airfield, Gravity, Newtonian field etc)?
