LABash is always on our list of the year’s most-anticipated events. This year's installation, the 50th-annual event, will be themed "Rise Above Run" – a motif that not only evokes Cornell's famed Libe Slope but also points to landscape architecture's potential to create spaces that address the many challenges faced by modern society, including environmental and social justice issues. It's always fun as landscape architecture students and educators join industry professionals in a celebration of learning, networking, and transcending through landscape design.

Land F/X University Rep and Usage Technician Amanda Berry is fired up to give her lunch-and-learn presentation at CELA 2019. Interested in attending? Sign up below!

Presented by Amanda Berry

Land F/X Usage Support

 

Land F/X has established itself as the premier BIM platform in the landscape architecture field, with more than half of all firms using it as an add-on to AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, and/or Revit. It proves equally valuable in an academic setting, where the use of smart, industry-specific software helps focus instruction on design principles and methodologies rather than mundane and archaic CAD commands. This presentation by Amanda Berry will demonstrate these capabilities and show why they are imperative tools for today's students and tomorrow's design professionals.

Landscape architecture enthusiasts from across the globe will take over California’s capital city for the 2019 Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA). Hosted by UC Davis, the annual gathering of more than 300 Council members has a theme of Engaged Scholarship this year. The conversation will center on "collaboration and dialogue between academic and community partners, and between communities." See the official CELA 2019 website for a list of scheduled events.

Our Land F/X University Rep and Usage Technician, Amanda Berry, will be on hand to join the conversation and give a lunch-and-learn presentation of her own!

We’ll be sending a Land F/X representative to the 13th annual ASLA Central States Conference in April. Stop by our booth and say hello!

The conference brings together ASLA members from the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas for three days of learning, camaraderie, and advancement of the profession.

CELA is coming to Virginia Tech this year, and we’ll be there. This annual conference is always a hotbed of ideas and heated discussions about the societal, political, and environmental implications of landscape architecture. Land F/X rep Amanda Berry will be on hand to present her fascinating paper on the impact of BIM on landscape architecture. She presents at Session 1 on Thursday, March 22, at 9:30 a.m. in Room 3.

Land F/X is proud to be an associate sponsor of this year's Future Landscape & Playspaces conference in Abu Dhabi. Our CEO and head developer, Jeremiah Farmer, will be on hand to present on recent advances in CAD for landscape architects and irrigation designers. Jeremiah's 30-minute presentation starts at 11:30 a.m. local time on January 29.

Jeremiah is well-known for pulling off great presentations, even in the face of profound jet lag. Come see for yourself.

The Irrigation Association’s annual Irrigation Show kicks off November 6 in Orlando, Florida, and we’ll be there. Don’t miss the conference that bills itself as “the world’s biggest and best trade show for agriculture, landscape and golf irrigation.”

Land F/X resident irrigation specialist Jake Lott will be passing on his irrigation know-how at this year's Irrigation Show + Education Conference. All courses are CEU approved and FREE!

LABash 2017 is fast approaching, and of course you know that Land F/X will be there! If you haven't already registered, now's the time!

The University of Maryland hosted the first LABash I ever attended in my first year of BLA back in 2006, and that year's event was the reason I kept returning every year I could! This conference is for both students and professionals, and it's a great way to network and learn things your curriculum won't cover. Plus it's a lot of fun!

Here are some key dates:

February 13: Last Day to register for an extra Expo Passport Raffle Entry

This is your key to great prizes, including an all-expense-paid trip for two to the 2017 ASLA Expo in Los Angeles provided by Land F/X! This trip includes spending cash, entry to the expo, a hotel room, opportunities to network with Landscape Architects across the country, and an invite to our LA Confidential party.

February 23: Last day to get LABash pricing when booking a room at the College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, the closest hotel to the conference!

March 8: +$25 Late Registration Prices Begin (register before this date!)

March 23: Registration and Opening Ceremony

March 23–25: The Expo is open! Visit Jeremiah and Amanda at the Land F/X table to pick up some swag, have your passport raffle card stamped for another chance to win that ASLA trip for two, and ask questions on how to save time on your final design project.

March 25: Land F/X Presents!

Jeremiah Farmer @ 2:30 p.m.

Not Your Father's AutoCAD: Bringing CAD Drafting into the Future of Landscape Architecture

If you're only drafting using the tools that come with AutoCAD, you're using a workflow from two decades ago. This session will introduce the essential tools that have evolved inside the Land F/X plugin for AutoCAD and SketchUp since then. Land F/X has evolved from a start-up established by a father and son in a garage into a widely used landscape architecture tool. Among its many features are a massive plant and site amenity database, ready-to-use symbols, colorization tools, and the ability to import a CAD drawing into a 3D model. All these features have been developed based on suggestions from landscape architects who use the software every day. Created based on the presenter's father's need for landscape architecture tools within AutoCAD, Land F/X speeds up the daily tasks of thousands of landscape architects worldwide.

Amanda Berry @ 4 p.m.

Rendering in AutoCAD and SketchUp with Land F/X

The best way to communicate your design intent to a client or the public is through colorful plan and 3D renderings. The level to which you take your renderings is only limited by the time you've budgeted to complete the task. This session will cover the tools Land F/X adds to AutoCAD and SketchUp to take renderings further within those programs in a few clicks. We'll show you how to spend less time creating a great rendering and, as a result, reduce your reliance on time-sucking post-production rendering software.

Are you stuck on how to travel to Maryland? Being far from Maryland is no excuse! I did the trek from Toronto to New Orleans one year. It's not too late firm up your travel plans. Here's how:

• 1. Find your travel buddy. Traveling to conferences becomes cheaper and cheaper as the group going grows larger and larger. At the University of Guelph, we organized coach buses or several smaller van rentals to cut down on travel costs, which helped more people afford to go and reduced the cost even more! Sharing a hotel room also helps. Maybe a travel company in your area can help you organize your trip to find even more savings.
• 2. Bump up the learning potential. For that Toronto to New Orleans LABash 2007 trip, we made a few stops along the way to Delaware Park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in Buffalo, and to Fallingwater in Pennsylvania by Frank Lloyd Wright.
• 3. Ask your landscape architecture program to help fund the travel costs. If you're following suggestions 1 & 2 above, you might be meeting some requirements for department funding!
• 4. Ask your professors to consider arranging project due dates to allow students to attend without missing a deadline. LABash is, after all, one of the best educational conferences LA students can attend!

See you there!

Krystal and Jeremiah have returned from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), where they represented Land F/X at the Future Landscape & Public Realm conference – and where Jeremiah gave a talk about CAD-based planting and irrigation design. We won’t make them work too hard until the jet lag wears off!

In the meantime, check out all their travel photos on our Facebook page.

Booth #315

We'll be at the Irrigation Association (IA) show in Las Vegas this Wednesday and Thursday (December 7 and 8). Stop by and check out our booth!

We'll also be teaching some classes about the benefits of CAD-based irrigation design. IA has approved these classes for Continuing Education (CE) credits, meaning they count toward the educational units required to maintain your license.
