Really! Thats cool jobs here though are scarce in our industry but should pick up hopefully by the time “I” graduate lol. But its a cool city I love it here!

it better be!!! i want to move to vegas and work there!!!

Thats exactly what we are doing on the first day there are going to be varios sessions around las vegas so instead of being stuck in a classroom all day you are going to get the chance to see that Vegas you don’t know and at night you’ll see the Vegas that you hear about. I am so excited about this…spread the word this is going to be the best labash ever

Hi All,
I am Enrica from Gadjah Mada University, indonesia.
Majoring in architecture and still an undergraduate 3rd going on 4th year.
lets be friends 😉

What i really liked about the louisiana’s labash is how they showed us around the city. i know that las vegas is going to be nuts! but the first thing i thought about when i heard that las vegas was going to be hosting the LaBash was how can they make it the best thing ever without being a cliche? i loved how everyone was together at least twice a…[Read more]

haha we’ll definitly try. What did you really like about louisiana’s labash?

i can’t wait. i went to LaBash in louisiana!! it was the best! i hope you guys can top it

I thought I would contribute some different digital and hand techniques I’ve experimented with over the last few semesters as an undergrad. Before I returned to school for Landscape Architecture I enrolled in a 12 month cad drafting course and read all the landscape graphics books I could get my hands on, which still seem sort of…[Read more]

Does anybody have any suggestions or examples for rendering a master plan in a desert environment? I’m trying to finish up my capstone project so I can graduate and I’ve run into a little snag. I go to school in the south so drawing a rocky barren landscape with clusters of cactus is a first.

Stomwater is cool in the Sunshine State.

what is the best size of image so that it does not distort, I noticed that many of the images, including mine are being stretched into a tall and “squeezed” format, are these do to i9mage size or my computer settings?

thought I would add a few images, I work mostly digital but started with ADs, Prismacolors, and pencil, Am loving Corel Sketchpad, Corel PainterXI, and Photoshop, base work is done in AutoCad, Sketchup, Sketchpad, or scanned original, rendered on Wacom Cintiq in combination of Painter and Photoshop…

Land F/X is a great tool if you are going to do a concept to working drawings set and are looking for real world ability to create and modify a great set of plans, it is functional within Autocad and now BricsCad ( a cheeper version of ACAD, which looks very powerful for the price), and LandF/X functions with SketchUp (which is not a TOY as stated…[Read more]

Great to see examples of everyone’s work!

Hello all, I am Craig and I dwell in San Francisco. I will soon be starting my 2nd year in the Design Certificate Program at U.C. Berkeley Extension. I welcome any input about anything. Does anyone have any ideas about summer work somehow linked to L.A. in the Bay area?

Hey guys! Here is a link to some presentations from a conference in Reno at the University of Nevada that talked about different stormwater and bioretention techniques. Some are really basic info but also some good overall information. The links to presentations are actually at the bottom of this page that you can scroll down to once you open the…[Read more]

It looks pretty old but I like the details and formality of it, especially as it moves between the brick wall.

check out this cool solution to getting water off the property at Duisburg-Nord/ Germany:

Thanks for starting this, Theodore! I know this is hot stuff already in engineering, but there isn’t enough information on it as applies to LA.
