Will there be any other competitions soon?

Nice drawing! I would like to know if your sketch was made over a 3D SketchUp model. 

PPI – LARE Complete Review Package Sections A-E.  This package is as ordered directly from PPI and includes all of the materials listed on their website (click here to see what is included).  They are virtually unmarked as I worked on copies instead of the originals.   This package originally sells for $335, but I’m asking $300.  A discounte…[Read more]

Anyone living in Southern California taking LARE Sections C or E in June? I’ve taken & passed sections A, B, & D. Now its time to tackle C & E. I’m in the process of gathering info & looking for study partners. Give me a shout if you’re interested in comparing notes.

The Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) is gaining momentum with an announcement they have certified the nation’s first three projects.  As a landscape architect professional, would you become a SITES AP?

Watermouse, some new material on stormwater, and a refresher never hurts! Good luck on passing this time. Sent you a private reply also.

Did you already pass Section C and E?

hi Stephanie,
For section D, are there any new materials. I’ve taken the class 5 years ago. I really need to pass before the new change.

Anyone, want to have study group strictly for D? I’m in Orange County, CA or we can just do emailing to share study materials. Thanks

Hi Oona, I was involved in the Redwood Empire Chapter when I lived in Sonoma County. It did help me with networking and learning about specific sustainability topics. Suzan

Actually, I did those relatively new to the profession a bit of a service by pointing out to them one  far more affordable and easily accessible alternative than the costly online option your self-promoting here.
I have no qualms with the value and utility of your online course, I just find the asking price, far too steep and so would most…[Read more]

Sami, 
I’d recommend using ‘landscape designer’ (I’ve seen this most often) or maybe even ‘recent landscape architect graduate’. If you use ‘landscape architect in-training’ check w/your state registration board to make sure that there aren’t any ‘conflicts’. 
As far as looking for jobs: the ones that generally apply to college grads would be ‘…[Read more]

I remember the saying “Those that can’t do – teach”
 

Hey Page:
 
You need to really get a clue here. It appears your somewhat disconnected from the true reality of the marketplace. Let me be specific, in case you can’t be.
There is massive unemployment in the design professions and thast has been pervasive going on nearly three years. You are offering a “sure-fire” or “near-fire” portfolio and…[Read more]

Sami,
One of my recent students listed their current job as “landscape architect in training” to avoid this snafu.
I would suggest visiting the ASLA job board to see how others with your level of experience are handling it.  Here are some samples of student portfolio websites that include resumes for other ideas on wording and layout: Samples r…[Read more]

I have a quick question about resumes.  I will be graduating this coming May will my BLA.  I am in the process of cleaning up my resume and cover letter.  In looking for jobs to apply for, I always search landscape architecture, since that is my specific degree.  I am not yet, however, a registered landscape architect since I am entry level.  Ca…[Read more]

Dear colleagues,

Does anyone have any suggestions on innovative ways of promoting the projects you’re working on?Apart from media and personal websites is there for example other sites which allow to reach wider audience?Thank you.
