FIU_MIAMI LABASH 2012

Here is our bid winning video! We competed against the University of Montreal at LABASH 2010 in Las Vegas and succeeded!!

Thanks to all who contributed, we could not have won without you. The success of this video shows us the true strength of the LA program at FIU. Let's show them in 2012, what FIU is really made out of.

Enjoy the video.

LABASH video collaboration

LABASH is a great networking opportunity for students. every year it is hosted by a different university and is geared towards students to network with other landscape architecture students in other universities. in addition major firms within the community attend and provide feedback to students. if FIU gains the opportunity to host it, it will be a great opportunity to promote the landscape architecture program at FIU.

currently a group of us have been working on the LABASH video entry once a week. our theme is "message in a bottle" featuring different locations in miami + studio life.

we will be starting filming on the 27th of february. the video is due the first day of the LABASH conference in las vegas, march 28th. as we find out more information/meeting dates, we will post them.

02.05.2010_Raymond Jungles Office Visit

Our visit to Raymond Jungles' Office was our third office visit for the 2009-2010 term, starting off with Enea Gartengestaltung Fall 2009, Curtis+Rogers January 28, 2010, and now Raymond Jungles February 5, 2010. The distribution of projects at Curtis+Rogers is dependent on the project manager and each landscape architect is assigned a project, and has control over the overall design of the project. In comparison to Raymond Jungles, where the Principle of the firm has major control over the general design of each project and then delegates the details to a project manager.

Is it more beneficial for a firm to keep one design aesthetic? Or is it an asset to have a variation in design aesthetics applied in a project?

Post any thoughts/ideas that the office visit may have provoked. The goal of these posts are to expand upon the events and extrapolate from the experiences.
