nca replied to the topic helpless? in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 12 years, 3 months ago
I’m T&M, so I’m not too worried about overextending. Its just frustrating to see a great property with so much potential in the hands of someone who cant see the forest through the trees.
The owner is insisting on up-zoning his own property and refuses to get a broker or someone qualified to do a proforma..insists on going it alone and its become…[Read more]

Agreed Chris.
Did anyone else learn to apply for a job BEFORE they attended college? Jeez. I’d bet half the habitual posters on archinect never had a paying job before (or sometimes after) earning their phd. If the hiring manager is going to ‘blacklist’ you for applying twice, you dont want to work there anyway.

nca replied to the topic Wildlife Crossing: Good idea? in the forum SUSTAINABILITY & DESIGN 12 years, 4 months ago
It would take time, not overnight, but I think the idea is generally that you place these crossings to align with natural wildlife migration corridors. Larger wildlife like elk as I understand dont deviate too far from historic routes.
Good idea, with lots of potential beyond just wildlife..
The alternative is long lines of fencing, forcing…[Read more]

we can spend all day worrying about this or we can do something. seems rather unimportant on a day like today, especially here in colorado.

Great info Thomas. We need more ‘hacking of academia’ in this country.

nca replied to the topic Brazil?! in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 12 years, 5 months ago
For what its worth we get an influx of ‘Brazillionaires’ every winter in aspen. They are typically very well-off. From what Ive heard they love to shop here in the states for deals if that tells you anything.

LA’s looking down on architects? Where do you work? Just kidding…
Try this experiment when youre bored: Go to archinect, register a user name, and post something (anything) landscape related and see what kind of responses you get. The best is if you tell them you do planning. 😉

Just the site…I wander over there every once in a while, always vowing never to revisit. The e-gos are out of control, kind of funny really.

A lot of those guys started from money. In fact, some of halprins earliest projects were his own home and friends.
there is really great residential work here in my area, but there is also a lot of really bad work, even despite the money. -
nca replied to the topic Seat boulders set in concrete in the forum DETAILS & MATERIALS 12 years, 6 months ago
We’ve done this on quite a few projects lately with the technique you mentioned — expansion joint and sealer caulk. A good example in my opinion is Flatirons mall (outdoor section), particularly the area behind BC Surf&Sport there are a number of irregular sandstone boulders set in concrete.

How about pretty much any other field in existence.
Dont undervalue your design education. It sounds like you want to use your head, but not too particular about staying in the traditional design career path. Why is it that every graduate of a design program thinks they must relegate themselves to working in a design sweatshop??

Hey Britt–
I know I’m probably the last person you want to take advice from right now, but I think I’ve had some experiences you may be interested in.
I actually used to talk with andrew (above) years ago, before I went to csu about design-build. At the time I was facing a similar dilemma as you are now — working for a design-build,…[Read more]
