I thought I would post a few Grasshopper files that I made to help out in the site engineering department. They basically interpolate contours a couple of different ways.

The first one works on contour lines and the second on elevation points. I made a third for roads but I am not sure about it…[Read more]

Hello.. Thanks for the group creators. It is a really good one.

I am a landscape architect from Turkey, working as a research assistant and doing Ph.D. I need some help about the small scale lansproject plans. Our students are trying to find some project, plan samples to improve their design skills especially on planting. Is there any plans or…[Read more]

Regarding Salco, they are one of the large Landscape Contractors in Saudi, I can not comment, if they are a good employer or not.
I am personaly looking for a Landscape Architect ( Not an Architect) for my office in Jeddah ( 3-5 years experiance, moer experiance can be considered) if any body interested please send CV to: aa.algilani@gmail.com

I graduated in May 2008 with my BLA and emphasis in Natural Resource Management. I am considering getting my master’s in Natural Resource Management.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how an MNRM degree would help or not really effect my job hunt?
Thanks!

Shimi; Thanks for the advice. I’ll give you a mini-review of the Vectorworks and its capabilities once I get started with it. I’m also interested to find out about an add-on program called Doodle. It looks promising. I’ll let you know. Thanks again.

Hi Naomi, I am currently doing my masters in Landscape Architecture in South Africa, I am still decising on a theme for my thesis but I am very interested in environmental psychology and the relationship between mental health and nature/the outdoor environment. I want to work at a psiachiatric hospital. It looks like you are familiar with the…[Read more]

Has anyone had any experience with the tree Saraca indica? I am getting conflicting information about its size from various refrence materials. I don’t know if it is a large tree or a small tree/shrub. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I still have not found an intuitive terrain modelling platform for us landscape architects.
Rhino can produce nice surfaces, which can be pulled and pushed to get the aethetics right, but its contours are inaccurate and, unlike Civil 3D, very static. Civil 3D on the other hand is very dynamic and great in live sections and contours, but falls…[Read more]

Thanks RFox. I’m going to download a trial copy of Rhino and play around with it. I did that a few months ago with AutoCAD Civil and found the new interface pretty intuitive. I still need something that’ll be a simple interface with a landscape design focus. Right now, I don’t need super high-quality rendering capabilities, but I would like to…[Read more]

Personally, I would recommend Rhino 4.0. It is an extremely easy to learn platform and combines 2D and 3D design quite well. Plus there are really good render engine plugins like Vray.

Rhino is also very good at importing and exporting a wide variety of different file types from Autocad to Digital Projects to Maya. I don’t know the exact pricing…[Read more]
