In this session, Adele Pierre of Adele Pierre Landscape
Architect Inc. will demonstrate how small-scale interventions can create
significant, positive change in urban settings. In the City of Hamilton,
Ontario, city-owned boulevards have been converted from asphalt into vibrant
rain gardens and pollinator habitats, creating a cohesive green space in a
highly industrialized neighborhood. This webinar will follow the process of
site selection, information gathering, garden creation, and documentation of
environmental impacts.

Learning Objectives
Explore how integrated GIS assists evaluating
potential sites and creating georeferenced base plans.
Understand how cost-effective public green
spaces can be designed for easier installation.
Identify how design intent and environmental
benefits can be communicated to the public.
Recognize how several projects cumulatively
scale up the environmental impact. Plus, learn how annotation features can aid
in reporting and communicating said impact.
Vectorworks’ Geographic Information System (GIS) features enable the geolocation of your projects, whereby geolocation aligns the file's internal origin with the project's actual location on the Earth. During the webinar, you will learn how to locate your virtual projects, and access to public available GIS data in order to transform your site analysis, landscape and urban design workflows.
Vectorworks’ GIS tool set provides you with the ability to virtually locate your projects using real-world coordinates. These tools, in conjunction with publicly available GIS data, facilitate higher-quality analysis and outcomes for urban, concept, and pre-design workflows.

Data Difference: Digital Workflows for Better Collaboration with Ecologists
With continuous development of technology
and legislation, this webinar focuses on digital tools and workflows that can
enhance the collaboration between landscape architects and ecologists. Joined
by Matthew Davies, a QGIS specialist from Maplango, it showcases a case study
and a habitat-rich landscape project in both Vectorworks and QGIS. The aim is
to optimise file exchange and look at the effective ways to create planting
plans for biodiversity enhancment purposes.
Following the standard project delivery,
the webinar's content places emphasis on data and a difference that GIS and import/export
capabilities in Vectorworks make for landscape professionals and their design
decisions. While the naming conventions can vary amongst the landscape
disciplines, digital tools can help to optimise the collaboration and ensure a
greater level of communication between the landscape professions.
