Fried Egg Institute?

I'm guessing that most landscape students are aware that the profession does have an institute and that the institute has a website where all sorts of interesting things happen (so I'm told). Take a look at the Landscape Institute Website and see what your professional body is up to.

Landscape Institute - Be a Landscape Architect
Not everyone is happy though and the current fashion for blogging discontent is with us in landscape architecture. I, for one, am glad to see it but I do think it might be improved with more reasoned argument and less vitriol. Still, a little bit of vitriol is grist to the mill (as they say).

In fact, toss in a Tricolore Salad to the mix and you're in heaven... right? Or does none of this mean anything to you?

So, here's my hypothesis; designers like listening to music while they work, especially when accompanied by their favourite tipple.
