Many Thanks for the Links Graham.
 
James: The site is at Kwan Tei, Fanling. Many thanks for your help!

To Andrew Slater, There are many species of plants from Bamboo, Climbers, Conifers, Grasses, Ground Cover, Palms, Shrubs and Trees suitable, if you can be a little more specific as to location in Hong Kong. Then I can give you actually what plants you require. James G. James Walker-Green < james@jwgspecialists.com>,

The project is covered under Public news (left hand column of website) then check news letter 15. There might be some leads in the article.

Hi everyone,
 
I have just won a small design job and looking for a bit of advice.
 
Can anyone give me a short list of plants that would be easy to source in Hong Kong and suitable for planting around an industrial site (ie very low maintenance!)
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
Many thanks
 
Andrew

Hi Lars, Hong Kong University has a good range of courses – good luck, carl

Hi all,
 
I am a 4th year student who has previously worked in China and then also visited Hong Kong. Where I fell in love, with the city that is (!). Now I would really like to go back and I thought it would be really nice to spend a semester there. Do you guys have any ideas at all of courses or schools within the field of urban planning/design…[Read more]

Hy everybody¡¡ what about the shaderlight ?

Hi All,
I am the UK’s leading recruiter for landscape architects. I will soon be opening a new office in HK. I am interested in developing professional relationships with landscape architects in HK. I will be in HK 8th – 18th August. If anyone would like to meet please let me know.

Dear Zach,,,,Thank you very much for such valuable information,,,one more question ,,,Is there are many differences between the free version and payable one ?,,,,best regards,,,,kiwan

In regards to the first comment about the program operating very slow, I would guess that either there are so many objects in the file that it is making the program run slow, or hardware on your computer such as your CPU and/or your Memory are not fast enough for the program.  In regards to the CAD to Sketchup, Google removed that option in the…[Read more]

they are plan books for DIY small scale green roofs with come with complete materials list, suggested suppliers, green roof care sheet + full set of architect stamped drawings.  good luck!

Daniel,
I like the Dynascape SketchUP.  Is the Dynascape easy to work with using their SketchUP landscape SketchUP plant materials? 

Looking good as always Daniel! My only complaint is the people, in that I hate them, in that I don’t have them. I’ll send you some of my newer stuff today to see what you think.

What rendering tool did you use for that model?

Does anyone have an opinion about the value of Dynascape for SketchUp – the plant library in particular?

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

Hey Daniel – I have a quick (hopefully) question. I tried to create a shade structure, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control the direction the fabric is taking. On the attached SU file, I would like the fabric to have a downward curve (showing the gravity) and instead I have an upward curve. Is there a quick way of changing the curve……[Read more]

What does everyone think about green roofs in the desert? Specifically the Mojave Desert? Given how much energy costs these days, would they not be beneficial? Or would the cost of having to irrigate them (which you would have to in the desert) be worth it?

Hey Dave. One way would be to map appropriate landform/vegetation/sky images to a curved background similar to these at SCF. You could also do a search for sky dome at SCF or in the 3D Warehouse. If you intend to fly right up to the edge of the TIN, you might also need to extend the surface out a ways to meet at the image. By matching the…[Read more]
