What did you see? I live in Vienna, but was fully booked over the weekend. Otherwise I could have given you a tour of some places.

Cheers

To get to the woods you can take the 38 tram from Schottentor to Grinzing. From there you can catch the 38A bus up to Kahlenberg for great views over the city. Then, if you’re in the mood, you can hike down through the…[Read more]

However, Illustrator has the vector goodness that is, in my opinion, easier to adjust later. You can also download a plug-in for Illustrator that will bring in all the CAD layers (not sure if there is a similar plug-in for PS). I’ve worked on a few plans in Illustrator (via CAD) that were changed a lot…[Read more]

I visited and almost went there in 2003, but I got into my hometown program (Minnesota) so I went there instead. Pomona seems like they are doing some great things. Also, the professors I met with there were very kind and open. It had a great atmosphere as…[Read more]

I am just trying to figure out the differences between freeware, open-source and shareware. I came across this link via linux.com a few weeks ago:

It’s a distinction having to do with availability of source code, as I understand it.

I believe it was called the Wildwood Pedestrian Bridge. I know the architect, Ali Heshmati. I’m sure he would be happy to talk with you about it.

I’m not sure if this is a state rule or a national rule, but I took Section D in September and do not have three years of experience yet (for MN licensure). You might want to look into it. I will let you know when I am coming back to Clemson.

I have thought about the same thing when working with community non-profit organizations. I think landscape architects have a skill set that could be valuable for a non-profit. On a job site we can speak the language of engineers, architects, planners, artists, horticulturists, etc. This breadth…[Read more]
