It’s not that those 4 years of college teach someone a craft that we couldn’t on the job, but it’s the initial litmus test about how serious someone is towards this career. It also strengthens the profession to have more people integrated into the academics of being an LA, eventual…[Read more]

Often times all within the same exhibit.

Personally I’ve always hated add-on or third party software as it relates to CAD. Just give me a generic version of AutoCAD that can produce basic geometry.

Level of Education, 2. Where you Live (City vs Country), and 3. Religious participation (not to be confused with affiliation).

It’s safe to assume a significant majority of all LA’s have a college eduction. And most live in the City (or suburbia).

Glad someone is monitoring these! I don’t think FB will be for us, but these things are so fluid so who knows in a year or two. Will look forward to an advance presentation on video down the road. Thanks again.

Thanks! I still find Facebook to be very awkward as a professional social media platform, but maybe that’s just me. Also curious why no mention of YouTube or video in general?

Thanks for sharing. One thing that could probably be added (in terms of planting style) is “modern” or perhaps “architectural”. Where planting is entirely geometric in use and layout…playing directly off architectural or constructed features in the site design. I always think this is a good way for Landscape…[Read more]

I’m increasingly convinced that University Degrees, including Landscape Architecture, don’t need to become trade schools. Yes, there is some aspects of professional craftsmanship and design knowledge involved in our education, but how deep into the technical weeds do we really need to get? Can’t a lot of these things be taught in…[Read more]

I don’t remember if it was a 3d package though as I never personally used it (I prefer a combo of SketchUp & Photoshop for digital graphics). Good luck!

I’m pointing out the professional exam doesn’t have a graphic component and hasn’t for decades. Yes, we used to have to manually draw the G&D plan, and site plan sections of the exam, but it wasn’t scored on graphic! There was no artistry involved.

Otherwise the university is just a trade school – and it isn’t. One should be able to graduate with a college degree, majoring in landscape architecture, and not necessarily be good at it in practice.

Second, you seem to define talent in…[Read more]

I love your suggestion for demonstrating “hands on experience”.

I’ve hired quite a few designers in my career and one additional suggestion is to clearly acknowledge team projects and what your role was. Whether academic or professional.

The 1,600 jobs over 10 years are just NEW jobs, right? On top of the baseline number of jobs currently out there and held. Presumably in that same 10 year span there will also be people retiring, changing careers, dying (!), promotions, etc.

In other words, I don’t think 30,000 graduates are fighting for…[Read more]

I do state that “UAV technology can’t replace the skill and experience of an in-person site review”, so you’d get no argument from me. With regards to privacy I also point out multiple times the importance of FAA rules and regulations, which includes privacy concerns.

One tangent to Public Gardens are Cemeteries. It’s amazing how many of them function like a formal garden/park space.

I think many LA’s will be put off by #5, which could have easily just been “The Client is the Hero”.
