Philosophy


My blog which you can view by using the menu button to the left is focused on the concept of validating landscape designs.  In other words, how do you make sure a design will work for a client before actual construction begins.  When landscape designers present their design ideas to clients, they use various tools that depict or represent how the design will look.  They have plan views, drawings, elevations, material samples, computer-enhanced digital photos, and other tools that help the client picture the design result.  My thoughts are directed at a deeper level of representation.  What could you use to portray the actual experience that a design might create for a client?

For more details about the concept see my first blog post Validate a Landscape Design.
