Not sure if anyone out there is still involved with this group, but I thought I would pass on a good opportunity for networking and meeting other professionals in the field.  The Merging Professionals Group of Colorado is having a happy hour event with the Colorado Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects on March 29th in Denver.  V…[Read more]

Been a while since anyone had posted here.  How is it out there?
I am staying employed in the residential design BUILD world. 

Hello all! I’m new to the Denver area and excited to see that there is a L.A. Denver group. My family and I just relocated from San Francisco about 6 months ago with our now 21 month old daughter. We are loving it! The unfortunate part (for me anyway) is that I had to give up my job and am now back in the job market. Ya…not the greatest time to…[Read more]

Hi Everyone! I am relocating to the area and going to be coming to stay for about a month in mid June to mid July…first of all….does anyone know of any cool ASLA events I can join up on while I am there….and….besides the Denver botanical gardens….are there any other native Colorado plant gardens that would be great for me to start…[Read more]

Hi Shawn. My college student plaza lead may fall thru because their architect is probably hungry. The reason the college contacted me was because their architect was too busy. That has probablly changed. My architect friend in Seattle said his firm shrank from two offices, 27 employees, 7 principals last year to one office, 5 employees and 2…[Read more]

Welcome Rick, as you can see there hasn’t been a lot of activity lately.

Joining a group of any kind, late, is not new for me. Better late yada yada

Hey if you haven’t seen it already there’s an article in this months (11/09) issue of Landscape Architecture. It’s on the Eddie Maestas Park, designed by studioINSITE. The Eddie Maestas park is the triangle at the corner of Broadway and Lawrence across from the Denver Rescue Mission. It’s a pretty interesting article, starts with “Eddie Maestas…[Read more]

Hey peeps I am working for DHM Design in my hometown Durango Colorado. Just thought I would join. Cheers,
Trevor

I am interested in moving out West to begin a career in landscape architecture. I know the current economic climate is a challenge but can anyone offer some advice on where to find an entry-level position? I am not tied to any particular Western state.

Also just driving around Downtown is great, Albert C. Most of the streets have great focal points at the end of the sight lines.

Brad, you will love being in Colorado. Welcome.

Hey Shawn, I don’t think it’s from a lack of interest. I signed up for facebook a couple of weeks ago but it took me months before I finally decided to do it – I just wasn’t sure I wanted to put information about myself out there.

Hey, Mike I’m not getting much response on this group thing. Anybody else in that office gonna join up? What is Joe up to, he needs to take this ‘ball” and run with it.

OK, so I started this group and threw this pic in there for a bit of novelty. Does anybody have something more appropriate? How about a LOGO? No, that would be to formal!

What an inspiring View!
