    Of course, my answer is to choose a place that is well planned and poorly designed, and I justify that on several points. 1- Because planning is an input to design and design is an output. If the output is bad, it is sufficient to modify some of the process and thus the design will be successful without starting again - because planning is a foundational step for design-. 2- When choosing a good design and bad planning, what is the guarantee that this design will continue and succeed if its foundation contains a flaw (the logical rule says: The result follows the most trivial premises). 3- The ease of redesigning is less easy than re-planning after designing, as we said in the first point - because planning is a foundational step for design-.

    Hello Sir! Hope you are well. I visited your RUclips channel and several videos. I'm surprised, despite having 2.34K subscribers on your channel, but only 48 views in 1 day of this video. Not good condition of your channel. That's when I realized that there is a problem with your channel. Video content is good but videos are not what SEO is for. I saw through VidIQ analysis that the SEO score of your last uploaded video was 0 out of 100. But the minimum score is 80+ to get video rank, views, subscribers. No targeted tag/rank tags use, no social media share, not perfect optimize & some problems. If you upload each of your videos with SEO optimization, you will get good responses day by day indefinitely. So if you want to get the work done by an SEO expert, give me a chance. I am waiting for your response. Thank you

    I used to live on the Heygate estate during the 80's for about 5 years (just over). I lived in the highrise Ashenden on the 9th floor, and looking out on all the trees, and all the greenery was lovely, and now you've gotten rid of most of them. I would have thought in this day and age of climate control keeping the trees beneficial! You're sitting there coughing and blaming the handful of trees that have been kept, when it's quite clearly the building work going on in the background. The only benefit I can see is the balconies, and maybe the shops, but other than that it looks just like a concrete jungle, and I bet the properties are a lot smaller, as most new builds nowadays are.

    A true friend, I just wanted to share with you what an amazing person he is and the contribution he has given to so many. Brian Clouston OBE is a world-renowned landscape architect who has made significant contributions to the field over the course of his illustrious career. He is the founder of Brian Clouston & Partners (BCP), one of the largest landscape architecture practices in Europe. BCP has been responsible for the design of some of the most iconic landscapes in the world, including the Jordan Valley Urban Fringe Park in Hong Kong, the Encore Garden in Taiwan, and the Aztec West business park in Bristol, England. Clouston was born in Liverpool, England, in 1935. He studied landscape architecture at the University of Edinburgh and graduated in 1958. After working for a number of years in London, he moved to Hong Kong in 1964 to establish his own practice. BCP quickly became a success, and Clouston soon established himself as a leading figure in the field of landscape architecture. Brian's work is characterised by its strong sense of place, its sensitivity to the environment, and its innovative use of materials and technology. He is a pioneer in the use of sustainable design principles, and his work has helped to set a new standard for landscape architecture around the world. Brian has been recognized for his contributions to the field of landscape architecture with numerous awards, including the Landscape Institute Gold Medal, the American Society of Landscape Architects Medal, and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Medal. He was also appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1990. In addition to his work as a practicing landscape architect, Brian Clouston has also been a dedicated educator and mentor. He has taught at a number of universities around the world, and he has been a strong advocate for the profession of landscape architecture. Brian is a true visionary who has made an indelible mark on the field of landscape architecture. His work has inspired generations of landscape architects, and it continues to shape the way we think about and design our landscapes. Here are some of Brian Clouston's most notable achievements: Founded Brian Clouston & Partners (BCP), one of the largest landscape architecture practices in Europe Designed some of the most iconic landscapes in the world, including the Jordan Valley Urban Fringe Park in Hong Kong, the Encore Garden in Taiwan, and the Aztec West business park in Bristol, England Pioneered the use of sustainable design principles in landscape architecture Received numerous awards for his contributions to the field of landscape architecture, including the Landscape Institute Gold Medal, the American Society of Landscape Architects Medal, and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Medal Appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1990 Served as a dedicated educator and mentor, teaching at a number of universities around the world and advocating for the profession of landscape architecture Brian Clouston is a true giant of the field of landscape architecture.

      As with medicine and with many other professions you can be a generalist or a specialist. (or a generalist with one or more specialisms). Re choosing specialisms, it is a question of supply and demand. By 'supply' I mean the talents and interests you have. By 'demand' I mean the availability of work for the specialism(s) you choose. Possibilities include: public parks, urban squares, housing, schools and universities, forestry, rivers, reservoirs - and a great many others.

This does not require much knowledge of programming but it does require an enthusiasm for the aesthetic aspects of design.

Yesterday I cycled from Greenwich to Wilton Music Hall in Shadwell. The bit where you come up from Narrow street, over the bridge and across the road to Cable Street, is IMO horrific. I nearly got taken out by a cyclist coming around the corner in the other direction. He was going at a speed but it wasn't his fault as I was struggling up the incline and my bike was wobbling of his side. Thankfully I was able to move away in time or he would have taken me out. I was really shaken. There was no allowances for slower, less experienced cyclists like me. It felt like no-one was looking or stopping etc. I found cycling on Cable Street very nerve-wracking. I did not know which way to look or who's right of way it was every time I went past a side-road I feared for my life. Similarly I was worried about pedestrians being so close and stepping out in front of me. I didn't help that I was following people. It felt like if I slowed down someone was going to go into the back of me. Not a pleasant experience. People cycle like maniacs now. 🙏 PS I would be happy to cycle the route with you if you still live in London?
