Do you think your time on the bikes or with your bass has changed how you think/ work at Landscape Architecture?

It will be more like a charette because of the short time frame, but should still be pretty cool.

It feels like buying a Hybrid to save some emissions. You are paying way more money, consuming even more materials, and getting rid of a perfectly good car.

It does look really cool though.

Here in Las Vegas they always have not for credit courses offered throughout the year. You could also contact the local extension service. Their plant guru’s will likely know who to talk to or where to look. Good luck.

Landscape Architecture lacks adequate global and national awareness. Larger corporate firms have the ability to do higher profile jobs and/ or efective marketing, that would make landscape architecture more of a brand name profession. There is the danger of losing professional…[Read more]

It sounded pretty good at first but your points bring it into reality. The idea might be good on a conceptual basis. It could excite more people back into gardening at home and also bring a new dimension to the green roof culture.

Do you have any stats on trains vs. semi trucks?

My father in-law is a general superintendant in California and they are always remodeling those type of stores. Maybe then they could beef up the structure.

There are many different kinds that are superior to salt without the harsh side effects like killing plants and ruining concrete. The problem is they are extremely expensive and so are typically only used for sidewalks in high foot traffic areas. salt and sand are used because they are dirt cheap.

If you look at the architectural side with guys like Ludwig Mies van der Rohes’ “less is more’ approach,” you can see how minimalist design could be considered sustainable in a way. If designs aren’t over designed then usually less materials will be used. Often when designers get caught up in artsy…[Read more]
