Arups

Two Landscape architects from Arups came and gave an in depth talk into some of the work they do and the processes and outcomes from the minute details, to the grand scale. Arups is a multidiscipinary practice and it was nice to see what projects a practice like this can take on and the designs they can develop.

Martin Kelly - Capita Lovejoy

Trees lecture

What would London be like without trees? A scary thought no doubt. Martin Kelly from Capita Lovejoy gave great insight into the importance of trees, not just in the rainforest, but even closer to home. The invaluable presence trees present is becoming more and more desired, with trees being valued in the Million mark.
Kelly presented a convincing talk ad also some photo realistic visualisations of the Thames waterfront without trees providing a colourful canopy in the summer, and breaking up and distorting buildings in the winter.

Long live trees!!!

Detail Lecture - Old Market Square, Nottingham, Gustafson Porter

Old Market Square, Nottingham

We had a talk on the huge amount of detail required for even the smallest of jobs. Sam from Gustafson Porter, cam in and discussed detail in old market square, nottingham. The site fountains were modeled to understand the way in which the water would flow. It is a good example of how and why models are still needed in landscape architecture. The predominant material on the site is granite

Triton Square

Triton Square, Camden greater London
Triton square was designed by the landscape architects EDCO Design. The design won the hard landscape award. Edco partnered with the architects Sheppard Robson. The site has raised beds of undulating turf. The area is so formal however that sitting on it is scarce. The site opens up to allow the light from the sun from the south.










strips of lighting transform the site at night, into a colourful parade of lights
