Land8: Landscape Architects Network

You can kick me out of your group since I’m not really part of NDSU, but I did have a great time on my visit to Fargo this summer and I did make some great friends and colleagues while I was there. I’m a fan from Purdue.

Hey if you haven’t seen it already there’s an article in this months (11/09) issue of Landscape Architecture. It’s on the Eddie Maestas Park, designed by studioINSITE. The Eddie Maestas park is the triangle at the corner of Broadway and Lawrence across from the Denver Rescue Mission. It’s a pretty interesting article, starts with “Eddie Maestas…[Read more]

Nanda – perhaps the best way to keep track of landscape architecture in India is through the Journal of Landscape Architecture – http://www.lajournal.in (disclosure – I am the advisory editor and write regularly for it). It is a very well produced and well-regarded (esp for it’s independence) magazine. At $50 for 4 issues international it’s a little…[Read more]

Zach, sorry I missed your post for the convention. Might have saved you the hotel as I’m in Chicago. 2005 BLA

Maybe its cause you just weren’t paying enough attention….. HELLO?? Hah. Whats happening with you Jill?

how did I not know you did this, Carl?? NICE. What’s up, former stumpies?

hi all, i am a practicing landscape architect here in Malaysia…would be open to discussion on any landscape design topics…

Speaking of iconic Northwest landscape designs, the great Lawrence Halprin died on Sunday, October 25th at the age of 93.

I see that you’re from New York. It’d be interesting to hear your opinion on what you think defines a PNW design. You mention Haag and Murase but what elements stand out to you? Are there any particular spaces that spoke to you?

By the way, it is dumping down rain in Portland right now!

Thank you Jason, and everyone else for the welcome into the green streets group. I really am looking forward to discussing the latest thinking with green streets with you all. Going to Kansas City, Missouri for a presentation on Tuesday and Wednesday, but I would like to post some things when I return.

Welcome Kevin. It’s great to have you involved with our group. I am a big fan of much of your work which has continued to push the envelope for innovative LID solutions.

I also wanted to mention that I just recently moved to Seattle to pursue 2 Professional certificate Programs at The University of Washington. One is in Wetland Science and M…[Read more]

Welcome Kevin! Thanks Jason for your comments on maintenance. After e-mail chats with many people, the fundamental move is to have regular inspections to look for needed maintenance patterns. I agree that it is a relatively new field for L. archs, and so the phrase “moving target” is apropos for the moment.

Cześć Asiu, miło Cię słyszeć… Ja właśnie mając w świadomości realia polskiej rzeczywistości cały czas się waham, wracać czy nie? Ostatnio tak dla próby poszłam nawet na interview w Krk, no i rezultat mnie przeraził. Pierwsze co usłyszałam to, że przydało by się żebym miała uprawnienia budowlane, bo przecież to jest najważnejsze, a kolorowan…[Read more]

i am here too

Joanno, wcale nie musisz mieć firmy wykonawczej:) Większość arch. kraj je ma bo to daje większe zarobki…ot rzeczywistość, którą jak napisała Anita powoli się zmienia.
Idąc na te studia wiedziałaś, że jest to zawód, który będzie zdobywał popularność – ale nikt nie obiecywał ze ta przyszłość nastąpi w ciągu kilku lat. Znam osobę, która w latach…[Read more]
