Thanks! 

We will be having our Workshop in LA on July 31. I’ll post more information shortly.

I’m looking for a class to take for Section D…anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks. It looks good! Now for a big rain to see it in action!

new shiny pics I took today..

Water is allowed to enter then exit the raingarden farther down grade…. in a small to medium event most precip will be captured and perc in these areas. It is Florida so larger rain events will be allowed to overflow and enter into the existing culverts at intersections.

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! 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!

Green roof in the desert would be great…added insulation, sound attenuation – irrigate with graywater!  Are there precedent projects in the area?

Hi
Does anyone have project info or links where I can find detail on landscape projects in Africa. Especially places out of South Africa.

So does the water go through in the right hand corner of each cell? Or is each cell a separate containment area?

OK- let’s save the world!  Glad to be among the initiated here…

Can anyone point  out a good source for sustainability and materials and methods. It felt great on the exam, but something has to be missing. Im floating between 2s and 3s and I have referenced many books that I have. Do the practice exams help?

Here is some pics from the project I described below- this was from 3 months ago and is coming along nicely. Note the re-used granite that we incorporated from existing curbs on the street. The sidewalk is alternating concrete broom finish and shell agreggate wash.

Thanks, Veenu!

Alland, 
 
Something I can think of right now are, 
Pavement Cross sections, look for 
-thickness of concrete
-proper placement of filter fabric
-water proofing etc
 
Stairs
-Riser thread heights or riser tread combined dimensions
-Handrail height, end handrail wrap up
 
Gaurdrails- spacing between rails, height, minimum requirement of gaurd…[Read more]
