I’ve been contemplating this for a while. A clean layout is best in my opinion, but you can have a clean and rich layout.

There are also some good ones here if you do a search for “portfolio.”

nca replied to the topic Mass Transit Rail in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 15 years, 9 months ago
Here in northern Colorado many citizens have long awaited a mass transit system to connect front range cities like Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Denver, and Boulder along a +/- 60 mile corridor. The demand certainly hasn’t caused legislators and developers to take action. The most viable options, in the opinion of CDOT and others involved, is…[Read more]

This is an old topic here at Land8, but I do think LA lacks a prolific public voice.

Thanks Roland.
I think there are some good points the writer makes in that article regarding sustainable design and the private sector. i think what e’ve all been getting at in the past couple weeks with alot of the more active discussion topics is the quantifiability (excuse me for perhaps over using this word lately) of landscape architecture…[Read more]

I agree. I think it is the duty of organizations like ASLA to be sure to put the right people in positions where they can be most effective in conveying the importance of LA or at least the benefits. Aside from congress, ASLA and other organizations could be doing a better job educating the general public as well such as what AIA has done for…[Read more]

Thanks Scott, this is great news to me.
I don’t know what the future of LA would be without advocacy in Congress being that what we do is by nature inherently subjective, at least in comparison to engineering and architecture. I hope you’ve found some time to take a look at the recent discussions here. Thanks for supporting our profession and…[Read more]

I can definitely see the value in the quantifiability aspect, but in taking a slightly closer look I wonder how much actually applies to landscape architecture. From what I’ve seen, LEED is currently oriented around building design with very little attention shown to site development, which is kind of dumb. On the other hand, Roland I think is…[Read more]

I have similar fears, but I also know that there are at least a few LA’s up there with the intelligence and access to make a difference, if only a small one. Still, money talks.

This LEED stuff sounds like a (not so creative) way for the organization to squeeze a few more nickles out of everyone involved. I honestly don’t see the direct benefit of becoming LEED certified besides a possible pay increase from your employer which ultimately boils it down to a marketing device. I know this has been discussed before though.

Roland-
What area would you like to work within the larger firms? I would assume there to be a larger scientific and analysis component than design and visualization at most of these types of firms whereas design and visualization skills are much more important at places like EDAW, Design Workshop, etc.

No apology necessary. Do you then believe that the 800 billion would be better suited as tax cuts?

BSLA programs are in fact 5 years and studio focused. We also have a spearate program here for Landscape design, horticulure and contracting in the building adjacent to ours.

Untrue. Our BSLA program is 5 years.
