The whole slope will be covered with groundcovers and the crest will have small shrubs. The mat is biodegradable – we just need it to stabilize the slope until the groundcovers establish.

The erosion blanket will be there permanently and will most likely have that “swiss-cheese” look. But, what the client wants, the client gets.. right?
Thanks for the advice! It was very helpful.

What about conceptual plans that have not come to fruition? Say you have concepts 1-10 which have renderings x, y, and z. Concept 11 was the design that went to CDs and was approved. Are the concepts 1-10 considered “in house” and not allowed to be presented?

It is nice to know that I’ll always have the originals, too.
I liked the hand. I thought it was unique and definitely an eye-catcher!

I thought about the watermark and that seems to be the only sure way to keep my images from being stolen. If I decide to go through with this, I’ll be sure to add it to my images.

Typical to portfolios, I’ve always had representations of my work in “themes” with several images on one sheet. Since I have many images that directly relate to one another, it’ll be a little more difficult to present the ideas when the viewer is simply clicking through a series of images. I’m as…[Read more]

This is something I’ve never thought of before. I always assumed that having an MLA was a huge step-up. Now I know that’s not always the case. I’ll keep this in mind!

To sit for the Arch exams I would be required to get my MArch and work for an architecture firm for a few years.

To give you a little background, UVA only offered undergrad in architecture and not LA. They did, however, have graduate programs in LA and Arch. When I was doing my undergrad studies I took several classes that were required…[Read more]

It would be a lot easier if you had the accredited degree in the first place. I know I’ve kicked myself for not just simply getting my BS in LA. But, I would never give up the education that I did receive in Architecture.

I recieved my BS in Architecture and planned to get my MLA right after graduation. Well, then the loan payments began… education does not come cheap!
I ended up working at civil engineering firm as a landscape/CAD designer. Long story short, you don’t have to have the credentials…[Read more]
