Landscape Architecture Magazine has a huge 18-page spread on Lawrence Halprin (1916-2009) in the February 2010 issue. It is a great article and you should take a look at it. For those of you who don’t know the work of Lawrence Halprin, I wanted to share my favorite Halprin project, the Auditorium Forecourt Fountain in [...]

My friend Phuong Phan-McManamna sent me more photos, this time of the musical water feature at the Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside. Thanks again! It is fun to see these night shots. Originally the lights were all supposed to be white but the city maintenance crew added some colored filters for the holidays. I [...]

I came across this great interactive MAP that let’s you zoom in on all the UNESCO World Heritage sites word wide. Try it out!

I particularly [...]

Phuong Phan-McManamna is now an architect and LEED AP in Seattle. She and her family now live in Bremerton, Washington and like to play at the Bremerton Harborside water [...]

Here are some of the 700 pictures I took as we drove back home from Palm Springs in a storm.

I just purchased 12 square inches of land in Detroit as part of the Loveland project. I was fortunate not to have to take out a loan as this investment only set me back $12 dollars. I have so many ideas for Detroit. I want to build something that will help promote tourism in the [...]

I love the Universidad de Venezuela. The campus is the masterpiece of architect Carlos Villanueva and in my opinion one of the most visually exciting campuses anywhere. Here are a few pictures from my visit in 2001. Not only is the landscape and architecture really exciting, he collaborated with a number of international artists at [...]
