Are YOU Thinking What I'M Thinking?
I think its a cool idea. Maybe a good way to test the waters, if you will, without offending anyone, would be to post photos and a description of a project that no member was involved with the design…

Landscape Architect Biographies?
This book about Olmsted http://www.amazon.com/Clearing-Distance-Frederick- is supposed to be good. I've heard recommendations from at least two people who read it, though I have yet to read it myself…

What is your favorite fountain?
I grew up in the Philly area, and I've seen the ones flanking the staircase working, and the one in front in the middle of the oval. I really don't recall a fountain at the top of the steps. I'm gonn…

I used to live around the corner from this place! Nice job!

Beautiful! You found a talented precaster...Im assuming that bench with firebowl is polished concrete.

I always liked the parks and promenade along Battery Park City for more contemporary LA work and there are some cool memorials, like the one for the Irish Potato Famine. The area is more kid-friendly too, with playgrounds, fewer sketchy characters.
I like that downtown corridor. It seems to be holding up well. Does Poggemeyer even have a LA group these days? Looks like you did the smart thing, going to Macau!
Kendall, I heard that info on water use directly from green building consultant Chris Klehm, so I took it as gospel. It has occurred to me that a huge amount of fuel could be saved if all garbage hauled by trucks was dry, even if you are just drying…
I was actually pretty impressed with Vizterra from what I have seen and used of it. I likely the precision and flexibility that it offered. The 2D plan view mode was much more flexible than many of the other 3D packages I have looked at before. I di…
You still purchase a standalone or network license with AutoCAD. They do offer a suscription service which you are constantly upgraded and have access to training and tech support. It usually isn't that beneficial to upgrade to the latest product wh…
The most important thing with any software is what you do with it. If you think that the images produced by the company for advertisments look to "video game", then chances are you will never like the final output that you are able to create with th…
So how do you maintain a current version of AutoCAD? I thought they were only offering it in the subscription format now. If I want to work with civil firms, more than likely I'll need the latest version. Yeah, I don't care for the subscription deal…
Might be interesting to find out what they are up to now. I imagine the developers have gone to China and Abu Dhabi and the lawyers are now doing bankruptcy and foreclosures.
I very much dislike the subscription business model. Won't even consider it as long as that is in place. It seems REALLY expensive to not even own the software. If you use CAD anyway, I think there is better stuff out there for the money. Check out…
