what's the song? :(

@nca777, When you were an Landscape Architecture student, what type of work did your teachers or professors assign you? What characterized your daily homework? Just written out of curiosity. :)

[insomniacgrace]

Wow! Indeed awesome!

[arysurya92]

I am an Architecture student of 2009 from Indonesian. and this my second year, I will through year three for next three month. I Through study of Architecture design studio, and for now is " Architecture Design Studio 3 " I've designed some building, such as approach watchman station, cafe, living house, living house with a marketing room, villa, traditional food ( malay ) restaurant, and now I am designing sport center indoor, the concept is torch, show spirit of fire from athletes, thank you.

[nca777]

Take a deep breath, relax.

This is a student project from four years ago. I appreciate your criticism, however misplaced. The project originally assigned only took into account the redesign of the park space along gore creek. My concept expanded the scope to include the reorganization of the village core and revitalization of the gore creek frontage which is almost entirely buried in the Wendy's-esque logotecture that is Vail Village. The concept was to reinvigorate....

[nca777]

@nca777

...gore creek and re-focus the village core on landscape and public space rather than vice-versa. The proposed 'mall' entry and new bridge was designed to center visitor attention on the mountain and mountain experience, while encouraging more interaction with the creek and the things that make Vail a special place. I agree that the pedestrian space on bridge street is nice, but it also has a very 'exit through the gift shop' feel if you know what I mean. Are you feeling better now?

[tgold1968]

Your design obliterates the excellent urban enclosure at the bottom of Bridge street and replaces it with redundant green space. Gore Creek Park already exists, and meets the needs of the village core. Ford Theater meets the needs of an outdoor theater, and Siebert Circle meets the needs of an informal gathering space.

In essence, your concept is to obliterate something great and to replace it with something redundant and ill conceived. Congratulations to you and Joe McGrane.

Very cool!

It's nice when a school actually teaches you stuff you can use in the field! So many schools nowadays are all about textbooks, reading, homework.... Not enough fun REAL LIFE projects!!!

5 stars!

[MrNorthernstar]

Where did you learn to draw like that? Did they teach you at your school? Im studying architecture and my school teaches us nothing bout sketching, perspectives, not even computers.

[MrNorthernstar]

Really nice drawings well done mate

[MrKannothra]

Nice work ,

[starrish]

LOL i love using trash paper....yeah sry called trace paper but at high school level to us it's known as trash paper and our teacher told us that ...oh and how can i see the final plan??

[onionofdeath]

tell your high school teacher to send all of her "trash" to me!!! I'm a 3rd YR LA student and go through a large roll in a semester or less

[starrish]

i went through a large roll in less than a semester lol....drafting class...studying architecture too

[aaroncoleman3]

Nice Work

[Taiqatan]

Good job sir i had a dynamic design going on i am 3rd year architecture student i did the form beautifully but stuck a beat in land scape of it

[IvanSmith09]

~hi ther.. can i see the masterplan..?

[ramesses88]

Love this video.

The music is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[RufusTfirefly2]

Complementary with an 'e'...

[mostarshqipe]

Hi

I have been thinking to do Urban development

how much do u think that the Urban development relates with landscape architecture

taking in account that we do not learn anything bout drawing, algebra or whatsoever.

thanks

[ElaineCamilleri88]

ok this might sound strange... but I love your methodology! using tracing paper, your sketching etc..how to tackle the problem. last year I used to get stuck since I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing regarding master plan etc,lecturers don't really show us anything here.Anyway cud b that they don't there either but my point is this video is really helpful in the simplest of ways! lol Can I just ask what's the pen u're using because I need to change the ones I'm using 10x a million!! :)

[kofiboone]

great job! we had fun watching this in class.

[nca777]

What class and where?

[garrett8911]

-Your salary will vary.

-Is it hard? Don't know. But it's very time intensive and requires alot of creativity

-Doesn't require much more than understanding of algebra and trig

-I'm a University

-I had to take 2 art classes as a major requirement

[EWFox]

I like your sketching style. I don't do nearly enough, so thanks for showing the time lapse on your perspectives. I'm also a 3rd year LA, and I think you're right about communicating your intent being key. In the end the client is going to look at the pretty pictures and say "I want that."

[pingvang1234]

Awesome work! I am a first year student at st. clair college taking Interior Design and got a interview with a Landscape Architect tomorrow. It seems like something I am interested in as well since I love design. It also seems that Landscape Architects make a better profit than Interior Designers. Any tips or advice? thanks

[ballplayer7]

I'm a Freshmen and I just enrolled in this major. I am worried about my abilities to succeed even though I haven't taken any classes yet. Your video inspires me to get a head start on my future in landscape architecture. It's a great video and you should make more.

[nca777]

It's not easy, but it hardly feels like work if you are passionate about design, coming up with new ideas, drawing and truly thinking and analyzing everything under the sun, literally.

The workload is generally very high. If you are a student looking to lighten your work load and do something "easy" this is not the major for you.

[liquidgrave]

is artistic skill important in this industry???

[Lundadeuna]

I'm a bit late, but it's complimentary with an "i". Next time you're in SF, just let me know and we'll grab that lunch. Airport restaurants have come a long way..

Really enjoyed your style in this video from the music, to your sketches. It's resparking my own interest in landscape architecture. Best o' luck.

[marcososa1986]

this is pretty damn good for a 3rd year student....nice job!

im in 3rd year, and i can bearly understand my sketches....lol

[poelaertpieterjan]

I'm interested to do this in belgium, but i'm afraid i won't have enough inspiration and fantasy to make it..

What do you think?

[nca777]

From the look of your videos, you a vivid imagination. I'd start there...good luck and thanks for the comments.

[chanelleborsos]

This is fantastic work! I have just finished my BLA and now doing my MLA, and I can say you are very talented

[midwesternchic]

this is what i learned on sesame street

[Chawmp0]

Great sketches. I love how the picture evolves before my eyes. Very well put together film, as well.

[nca777]

AD Markers and sharpies mostly.

[nca777]

Thanks Alot! Yes, I was a third year, spring semester student when I made this, now a fourth year at CSU in Fort Collins, Colorado.

[nca777]

mostly, yes.

[bexican21]

Is that an AutoCAD program you use to create your section elevations? It looks really nice. Also where do get those trees for the section elevations and had did you change their opacities?

[nca777]

Cad and photoshop..sections are pretty simple. I got the entourage a long time ago from a studio mate.

[streebo]

I like your "style" it is "fresh" and "dope". We should ditch our jobs and start our own firm!

[ahmedfk666]

great work dude! very nice sketches! good luck

[curlyblack]

Very good skeches!! good luck for your carrer, i,m a student of landscape architecture and i get some ideas in this video for my drawnings!

[mickstan21]
