I am currently finishing up my last year of a B.S Landscape Architecture at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. I am from the Northern Virginia, have worked in all forms of the field from nursery sales, installation, inspection, and design. I aspire to be a master at my skill. I would like to design Sustainable Urban Sites, with creative,…[Read more]

Yeah, it looks like a great time saver. Although anything is faster then the way I do it, so I’m probably no the best person to judge. Are you asking if you should draw in the spaghetti and/or the poly? Too much detail is a waste IMO. The contractor won’t follow it anyway. The hatch patterns look fine. You’ve called out the emitter size for each…[Read more]

Hello folks,

I have uploaded a sample drip plan that I designed using LandFx irrigation. (I’ve been using the software for 5 years now) I’d like to know what you think of the way LandFx handles drip irrigation. The page also explains how LandFx calcs the drip areas (its very cool.)

Great design is what is around us ,the natural environment.. the Japanese landscape artists were tryig to copy and paste it their own home environment..there are aslo a lot of superb details in nature.. every single thing could be taken as a sample.. a good design should inspire arstists, poets, composers, and manipulate people’s mind in a way…[Read more]

I just picked up a handful of Blick markers. Are they any good? I’ve used AD and Prismacolor, are these better, worse, or about the same?

Hello all,

As a former educator: I see any LA curriculum to be a foundation of sorts to an any budding landscape architect. We can teach the person in theory how do things, and be responsible for things (stewards of the environment, etc..), but in the end, it is through that budding landscape architect’s own free will what…[Read more]

No rush, best of luck on the exam.

Mga pare, valuable comments. Keep it coming. these might shape the UPLarch curriculum in the future. Ganun din sa lady larchies, o di ba Julia?

Totally agree with boss Leo …
A lot of non-LA’s might think that they can do landscape design well in fact much of the things that they come up with is merely ‘land-escaping’ or “pseudo-landscape design”. I believe that the UP LArch Program made us understand (and sometimes forcibly hehe) the science behind what we are doing now and that most of…[Read more]

Helloooo!!! Where are the lady larchies???

Coming from my Boss, these are indeed insightful words. Hehe, mamam!

I agree with Paolo. There will never be a Version 2 of Hand Sketches.

It may be a small percentage of our current professional knowhow, but lessons learned in college were definitely the building blocks of my career.

I always go back to the basics: style design principles, bubbles and methodologies, in every design problem on hand. Design considerations change along with trends in aesthetics, amenities and…[Read more]
