Hi all!
Finally I’ve found this group 🙂

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]

hi, i’m cliff. just joined here too, thanks.. i enjoy the minimalist approach to japanese style landscape architecture, its the most inspiring.

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 😉

Nice to meet y’all.

Thanks!
I think we can have fun at least! That’s guaranteed.

Hi
I join, lets see what we could doing there.
I am in Tokyo, but stupidly enough busy to enjoy more shoppping mall after work than garden and scape.
Hope things gonna change….

Sad to see like-a-minds leave the profession and seek totally different jobs these days. Actually I pick small works from Europe/Middle East, and I have not heard much hopeful news in the country for a while. On the other hand, I have come across enthusiastic Japanese garden fan in Europe. So I created the group to share the true stories and info…[Read more]
