The Dozen things topic is split into two episodes, each one a braindump of information - hey!
More than you might get in 4 years of landscape architecture school - or two years at your local Community college. Grab a pen and put on your earbuds, here we go! I am of course just kidding. This podcast summary is more like just a year of LA school - a year that likely wont be offered, because you will be busy worshiping at the altar of the cult of personality of famous landscape architects, rather than gaining much practical knowledge. If you are in a landscape architectural program, don't mention that you might be leaning in on residential design. You will likely be treated like a red-headed stepchild thereafter and relegated to the hort program - if they have one, where designers - it appears - go to die. Or frankly - are resurrected and integrated into the fascinating world of flora in an innovative Hort program - god forbid, something many landscape architects think wistfully of later in their careers - while chained to desks, drawing parking lots and planned unit developments.
I know , that's harsh, but I have an axe to grind, a tool that we never discussed as part of my landscape architectural program- because - well, why get your hands dirty? As we noted in the prior episode,
