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.

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.

3D MODELLING FOR RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPES IN DESIGN SOFTWARE
Join Vectorworks to
explore digital workflows in a design process, tailored to the needs of
residential landscape projects. Starting with a model of the existing site and
a 2D concept plan, we will look at the effective ways to grade the site model
surface and to work with the site model contours. Using digital tools, we will
create a 3D model of the proposed landscapes for both the front and rear
garden. Learn tips and tricks for free-form modelling and its potential to
craft sculptures for residential sites. Open for all levels, the session will
focus on some of the new features and their benefits, helping you to
communicate your design proposals with clients and contractors.
Though 3D-modeled landscapes are becoming more common in
design workflows, many still hesitate to involve valuable techniques in all
areas of their design workflow.
A key benefit to incorporating 3D and BIM in your landscape
design, beyond selling, is analysis. In this session, you'll learn how to
leverage the power of solar, terrain, building, and landscape feature modeling
to better analyze site conditions, advise clients, and validate design choices.
By integrating 3D with 2D design workflows, there's less
disruption in getting to a sellable, better-performing solution for your
clients.
