Presentation from different practices

Arups
Arups is a multidisciplinary international Landscape Architecture practice. We had a presentation from two Landscape Architects talking about detail and design in large scale. It was nice to see how they worked, with a lot of staff specialised in different things. I enjoyed their presentation and the projects that this two Landscape Architects were involved. One of the was specialised in engineering and construction and the other one more in designing and planting.

Capita Lovejoy -Martin Kelly
Trees lecture

Martin Kelly is the director of Capita Lovejoy. He had a long term experience with land and trees. In his presentation we saw some images comparing the existing Thames water front with Plane trees and how the are could have been without trees. That was the time that i really anderstood the importance of trees. Also he showed some other projects by Capita lovejoy. I really enjoyed his presentation.
