We are looking for practices with excellent completed projects, concepts and theoretical approaches. The winners are given the opportunity to introduce…[Read more]

Thank you Paul for that link. It is really worth reading.

I don’t mean to be negative, but I’ve been after Topos for maybe 3 years now to start an on-line version of their magazine. Seems kind of in the spirit of the content don’t you think? I don’t take paper anymore – magazines or newspapers – and yes I pay for the ones that provide good content and present themselves well. How about an iPad App Topos?…[Read more]

What is Landscape Urbanism? A discipline, an instrument or just a term to promote people and programmes? How is this term defined in relation to landscape architecture, a term that has proven suitable internationally until now? Do new responsibilities in practice and theory also need new designations? Or can the profession also be renewed under…[Read more]

Thanks Stephanie, I see what you mean. Thanks so much!

STEPHANIE Landregan FASLA LEED posted an update in the group The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 6 months ago

Hello Tamera,
Well, As a LEED AP, I can tell you that LEED doesn’t deal with the spaces BETWEEN the buildings on a level that is watershed centric, site planning, soils responsive. LEED does not give points for passive solutions, but favors mechanical solutions. In so many ways, LEED is very narrow, and SSI is very broad. Those are just a few…[Read more]

Hello Colm
it seems that money is a big issue when it comes to subscriptions. But as long as you get good value for your bucks or pounds it is a good inverstment. If Guinness is good for you, Topos is better 😉

Colm Dooley posted an update in the group Topos 14 years, 7 months ago

Hello,I really like the Topos magazine, I just haven’t been able to afford it in a while. When my budget allows I will re subscribe and maybe someday back date, now that will be a good day.

Robert Schäfer posted an update in the group Topos 14 years, 7 months ago

Hello and welcome!
This is the new group Topos. We would like to discuss here communication and media issues related to Landscape Architecture and relevant publications – and, for sure: promote Topos.

Joy, have your Chapter Trustee or President check in with Liz at ASLA national and she can certainly help find appropriate speakers for you. Also, the ASLA Sustainable Design & Development PPN can help guide you as well. We have many talented speakers that can address many different aspects of this topic.

Jill Bellenger, ASLA | LEED GA posted an update in the group ESF Alums 14 years, 9 months ago

I should also mention that our ESF president, Cornelius Murphy, as well as USGBC founder and president Rick Fredrizzi are on the Board for the CoE, this is a GREAT organization to become involved in.

Joy Kuebler posted an update in the group The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months ago

The NY Upstate Chapter of the ASLA is teaming with the NY State AIA for the first time ever to put a JOINT conference together! Sustainability is a particular topic that is HOT on both arenas. Please feel free to let me know if there are people interested in presenting at the conference regarding the SSI to LEED roll out, or to a particularly…[Read more]

Charles,
Perhaps they are hiring knowledgable Landscape Architects? Clearly they need help.
