Hi i am new to this group and i feel your pain!

Here is my 2centavos worth…

As a former educator: I see any LA curriculum to be a foundation of sorts to an any budding landscape architect. We can teach the person in theory how do things, and be responsible for things (stewards of the environment, etc..), but in the end, it is through that budding landscape architect’s own free will what…[Read more]

Coming from my Boss, these are indeed insightful words. Hehe, mamam!

I agree with Paolo. There will never be a Version 2 of Hand Sketches.

It may be a small percentage of our current professional knowhow, but lessons learned in college were definitely the building blocks of my career.

I always go back to the basics: style design principles, bubbles and methodologies, in every design problem on hand. Design considerations change along with trends in aesthetics, amenities and…[Read more]

Eyahoo! Suyuin natin so Mon bumalik dito!!!

I know, the AD office was put up by EDAW Australia before they became an independent office. I’m actually contemplating of moving there dahil tax free, lalo na ngayon that the Aussie dollar has hit a 5 year low versus the US dollar. Baka magkitakits tayo next year.
