Otherwise, this field is actually becoming much more respected. See: http://archrecord.construction.com/news/daily/archives/090806landscapearc-1.asp

For me, as a landscape architect I think our magazine is…[Read more]

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe InDesign
Google SketchUp (And if you want to be on the edge of things take a look at Rhino or any other Nurbs modeling software)

Quite the ambitious question to ask, as significant time and energy needs to be dedicated to extensively learn the capabilities…[Read more]

In fact, the entire issue with landscape architecture is that there it’s not even on the radar for the average member of society; hence why people first…[Read more]

Well for one, how do you expect to represent this gap? I would never put “Unemployed April 2009-Present” on a resume. However, if an employer can connect the dots and ask you about it then hopefully you have a story to tell. Maybe you’ve done work in some form of community design collaborative, sat in as a juror for a landscape architecture…[Read more]

Regardless, thanks for the replies.

I was hoping grad school would act as a means to not only go beyond what I learned in my BSLA, but also act as a means to reinsert myself into the field when…[Read more]

I guess it all depends on a firm’s approach to 3d.
