ciekawa strona moze warto by pomoc i stworzyc taka baze parkow w PL http://www.parki.org/
dla nas to by bylo jak w raju 🙂

A ja mam pytane odnośnie procedur FIDIC. Czy spotkaliście się z koniecznością posiadania przez arch. kraj dodatkowych kwalifikacji związanych z ta procedurą? Czy od kogoś z szanownego grona wymagano ukończenia szkolenia lub warsztatów w tym zakresie?

Wygląda na to, że cele warszawskiego oddziału SARP pokrywają się z SAK w zakresie uprawnień. Czy ktoś może mi powiedzieć czy SAK współpracuje z nimi? A może warto byłoby się zjednoczyć w jakiejś formie?

zielen polska rozpoczela nowy program promocji czlonkow stowarzyszenia. Zapraszam na http://www.zielenpolska.pl .Mam nadzieje ze program sie powiedzie. A teraz prosba. Jesli ktos z was bedzie wiedzial ze w ktorejs z gmin skorzystaja z programu promocji to dajcie znac. Dla nas to wazne czyten program zadziala.
Sorry za znaki ale pisze z telefonu:)

Witam Wszystkich serdecznie

Hmm, a ja tak banalnie może, ale właśnie wróciłam z kidasmi z przedszkola, i tak mi się skojarzyło, że tak jak żadne mądre rady i nauczanie w szkołach rodzenia (przepraszam za skojarzenie) nie uczy jak być rodzicem, tak chyba żadna szkoła nie do końca wykształci architekta krajobrazu, bo kazdy z nas ma inne oczekiwania i postrzeganie rz…[Read more]

Kim, I have seen some examples in Charleston, SC that are using some green street technologies such as curbside bioretention and permeable pavers. I would look up Liberty Hills and Oak Terrace Preserve which I believe are both in North Charleston. Here are some pics:

Does anyone know of any implemented green streets in the Southeast? We are completing a project in Nashville in the next few weeks and wondering if there are others?

I am pulling together a maintenance manual for a design studio that wants to install storm water mitigation in its projects. After reading widely, I have noticed that most information has the same maintenance guidelines. I find it difficult to believe that if sedimentation must be cleaned out 4-5 times a year from an in-street planter in Portland,…[Read more]

I am looking for some of your best exemples of rain garden project, rain managment etc. I am in a preparation of a seminar and will enjoy to see what is really happening outside my own practice. Please feel free to share informations and projects….

Does anyone know of a good source for construction details for ‘green’ design? I’d like to review these…

iT IS MOSTLY CULLET DISPOSAL AND HEAVY METALS (LEAD), MOST OTHER CONTAMINENTS WHERE FULLY REMOVED. I WAS ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN BIO – PHYRO REMEDIATIONS BUT HAD NOT FOUND A GREAT DEAL OF INFO ON THEM.

Ya i defentenly plan on trying to use Bioretention techniques, but this is not a exectly a mitigation techniques it is a stormwater solution, i need some way to extract or mitigate the heavy metals that are with in the soil and water on site, bioretention will help in preventing them to go to the stream but then they are still on site in the soil.

Bioretention is a technique that can be used in nearly any environment, including brownfields, as a water quality control. This may be getting too technical for your project, but depending on the amount of on-site contamination, I would recommend that you wrap all of your stormwater BMPs with an impermeable membrane to help control the spread of…[Read more]

i am a landscape architecture student working on my senior project, which is a brownfield site ( old glass manufacture), and curious to see if any one had unique design, mitigation techniques and or a case study i should look in to.

Larry these look to be very helpful examples of how other municipalities are implementing these strategies. Good case studies. Thanks for sharing.

Well I’ll be honest, I’m very jealous of what you are able to get approved out on the west coast. As of now we seem to be a bit behind the curve but we’re trying to at least catch up with you.

The majority of our office work is around the Washington D.C. metropolitan area (including northern VA and Maryland) and each municipality seems to be at…[Read more]

Well in Australia they use a broader term Water Sensitive Urban Design, as opposed to LID, which refers to 3 areas of water management (Potable Water, Waste Water and Stormwater) and how my effecting one of these you have the potential to effect the others. For instance, by reusing stormwater to irrigate landscape or flush toilets, we also reduce…[Read more]

Philip – that sounds really awesome! I’m looking forward to hearing what was shared, not only from a green streets perspective but would love to hear all about what you are doing in Australia with regards to water design.
