Peter,  your comment about approaching your portfolio from a print format perspective is interesting.  I think many of us who spend a lot of time at the drawing board suffer from this, and moving our personal work to digital format is a jump for some.  I think that if you have a standardized filing system in place that is reflected on your co…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback, Page! It’s funny, looking back now I obviously should have clarified a number of issues you picked up on.
The document is set up in an 8×10 Blurb template (because most of my sites are portrait orientation) and the “cover page” is actually Page 1 of a Blurb template (the cover is a separate document at this time because…[Read more]

Hi all…Just joined and am really interested in Chinese and Japanese landscape architecture.  China is what made me switch from International Environmental Policy to Landscape Architecture and so I now feel the need to give back in some way shape or form.  Excitement abounds.

@ Peter Coyle.  Regarding the pdf portfolio you uploaded to this wall, here are my comments on layout.
Cover page:  clean layout but a missed opportunity to immediately showcase your skills.  Consider some of your images as a semi-transparent background, or a small thumbnail strategically placed.  Re-format the cover to landscape orientation so…[Read more]

Hi! I also would love anyone to review my attached portfolio and offer any critiques! NB: this is a low resolution copy for upload size reasons, so smaller text is illegible (focusing on general content/layout). Thanks in advance for any comments!

Hello
I am Charles Cobble recently returned to Shanghai from a year or so in Abu Dhabi.  It is good to be back home.  I look forward to learning more about not only the design of landscape in Asia  but also the business of it as well.  I hope you all are as busy as you want to be.

Landscape architects always get confused for “landscapers” and until the general public understand the profession of landscape architecture, this will never change.

Denis – try “From Concept to Form in Landscape Design” by Grant Reid.  It’s a good starting point for what you’re talking about.

Hello! Any CMLIs here? Who can mentor me on my P2C by skype?

Hello! I am looking for manuals on Design itself – especially combining forms and shapes(geometry), getting beatiful lines, proportions and finally getting harmonious composition. Any good books or e-books? The best free available on-line:) Waiting for advices!

Yes I think landscape architecture in the UK needs a boost in profile. I can’t understand, for example, why the top universities don’t offer landscape architecture courses?

Thanks David and Bayazit.
I’ll have to check out some of those plug-ins, and while I’m at it I have to get V-Ray.
I’d love to see some samples of 3rd party plug-ins.

Hi Hefti,
 
you can find some examples at my DA Gallery 3D Jobs folder. Most of the recent works are produced with 3D vegetation, a combination of pre-made models, self-models used via proxies and rendered with MentalRay or Vray. Hopefully, they can give some idea.
 

Question: anyone have some pictures of examples of vegetation done in 3Ds?
