<b>Design Visualization</b>- Merging hand drawing with digital tools</h3>
<br />
<br />
Primary visualist of studioINSITE in Denver, Jim Leggitt is an <b>urban planner, architect, illustrator, and author</b> in touch with both classical and digital drawing methods. In his presentation to CSU students, Jim highlighted clever tips and tricks for representing designed landscapes to clients.<br />
<br />
Computers, on their own, <b>cannot replicate the beauty of hand drawing</b>, which is why Jim recommends that students combine SketchUp modeling framework with hand-drawing techniques. People best relate to images which are realistically represented but have the characteristic look of hand drawing. Using <b>layers of trace paper</b> along with photographs and printed SketchUp perspectives helps to build these accurate and authentic illustrations.<br />
<br />
The <b>illustration process</b> that Jim follows is roughly like this: using photographs or printed Google Earth images, he traces the footings of the buildings, imports the image into SketchUp, builds up the height and basic structure of each building digitally, pans around the SketchUp model to find the best perspectives, prints those perspectives, hand sketches on trace over the SketchUp perspective with a hard pencil (ink is too strong), colors first with markers then colored pencils, then scans the drawn and colored image back into the computer for Photoshop editing.<br />
<br />
Simple, right? Although the process may seem grueling, it can be buffered down to any personalized combination of back-and-forth hand drawing and digital drawing. <b>SketchUp</b> <b>can be learned individually</b> through online video tutorials and webinars. <a href="https://www.landfx.com/index.php/docs/sketchup/getting-started.html">This</a> website offers advice and webinars on <b>getting started with SketchUp</b>.<br />
<br />
Additional <b>tips and tricks</b> given by Jim were to add a gray filter and erase lights to create night scenes, using trace paper over photographs to "ghost" the background image, placing images of people and cars in SketchUp then tracing over them by hand rather than inventing people or cars, inserting landscape images into the background of SketchUp scenes, and always trying to limit the size of hand drawings for speed.<br />
<br />
Jim left students with this statement:<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"magic happens when you combine hand drawing, cool digital tools, and a big dose of creative experimentation"</span></b><br />

Students volunteered as expo attendants, room monitors, and greeters, having the opportunity to listen to the lectures of some of the biggest names in the field. A few students were introduced to Peter Walker!<br />
<div>
<br />
The Expo was held on Saturday and Sunday the 22nd & 23rd of November. The expo provided students with the opportunity to test and visualize materials, play equipment and be introduced to new computer rendering programs. There were also book signing events, illustrations up for viewing, and unlimited opportunities to connect with professionals in the field.<br />

He shared photos from his earlier days as a devotee of Madmen comics, which began his art education and set the framework for the rest of his career. As discussed in his lecture, story boards with individual frames are an effective tool for coaxing images out of a blank page and to record the creative process as ideas flow.

The audience was guided through his process of reviewing precedents of man-made waterfalls in order to build a massive, thirty-foot-high prototype in his backyard that would evolve through trial-and-error and withstand inclement weather, as well as all four Canadian seasons. Dan went on to discuss sustainability measures taken and the obstacles faced during the process as a whole, concerning political hurdles, sound amplitude, uniform aesthetic, mold growth, water usage, and electricity costs. Eventually, the waterfalls' consumption rate was drastically reduced from cycling two-hundred gallons of water per square foot and racking up eight-million dollars worth of electricity costs per year, to a mere sixty gallons using a third of a million dollars annually. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Sensitivity to sustainably-designed water features was extended to cover Dan's more recent and ongoing projects, including the Mississauga Celebration Square water plaza (ON, Canada), the misting water feature of Exhale (Chapel Hill, NC), and the fountains of the Belo Garden Project (Dallas, TX).</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The students and staff of CSU thank Dan for his time and graciousness.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05328608920073389682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453211294398689269.post-40359938174055629532014-11-17T10:33:00.000-07:002014-11-17T10:33:06.326-07:00SCASLA Featured in The Source - A CSU online publicationOur Fall Into Landscape Architecture lecture series has gotten some great recognition!

Dennis spoke of his twenty-eight years working as a landscape architect, beginning when he graduated from CSU's Landscape Architecture program in 1986. After working at Civitas (another well-known, Denver firm), he chose to continue his education at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, then went on to start his own Landscape Architecture firm. He began StudioINSITE in his basement with three partners, and today the firm is known internationally for its award-winning work. Dennis mentioned that what he learned at CSU has never left him, and he considers the fundamental hand-drawing skills from his education to be a critical part of design. </div><div style="font-family: '.Helvetica NeueUI'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); "><br></div><div style="font-family: '.Helvetica NeueUI'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); ">StudioINSITE's most popular projects include The Marine Corps Museum, the recent Denver International Airport developments, and the Anschutz Medical campus in Aurora, Colorado. </div><div style="font-family: '.Helvetica NeueUI'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); "><br></div><div style="font-family: '.Helvetica NeueUI'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); ">For more information on StudioINSITE, visit their website at www.studio-insite.com</div><div style="font-family: '.Helvetica NeueUI'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); "><br></div><div style="font-family: '.Helvetica NeueUI'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); "><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQD8M9yUvsKPENpROwYKqCf9rabHOL147uHhIb-IqlJVcjXE7s8j8WGey1s3hpWlDNCqJDEEMIL-z13iCwO2hvsdzebGsVug5Jhe7IgSFRlBcM6cOTOw2Mv6Wiul3Vk4pqgYIA23k-g3EK/s640/blogger-image--112325292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQD8M9yUvsKPENpROwYKqCf9rabHOL147uHhIb-IqlJVcjXE7s8j8WGey1s3hpWlDNCqJDEEMIL-z13iCwO2hvsdzebGsVug5Jhe7IgSFRlBcM6cOTOw2Mv6Wiul3Vk4pqgYIA23k-g3EK/s640/blogger-image--112325292.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaB6UfMBeYxnPWSYUeJD8amgXsPVcJS20Of-_C12dcuwdjjWNjcXb2qTrwqI9qiP4cJ2W6sGaQ0hOG9CMozcqjSps51Hn0XKGG6jFXFyC90PHKURVHkIMlCzPUbgjQ6ChVVyPBHIIVokp/s640/blogger-image--207961332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaB6UfMBeYxnPWSYUeJD8amgXsPVcJS20Of-_C12dcuwdjjWNjcXb2qTrwqI9qiP4cJ2W6sGaQ0hOG9CMozcqjSps51Hn0XKGG6jFXFyC90PHKURVHkIMlCzPUbgjQ6ChVVyPBHIIVokp/s640/blogger-image--207961332.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHqfeyDrfw4jxu7MlMSak4Z2j4zhC5wVBmIw1W-7dFJHGSoXexMvRLsNEIXiWH-RlgKT3ajQM7RkJpiJNDW82jtBQqBUsCV9Gcj-4sG-BvLAKfU-zKie2k9vT5tRktSYPTO1uLAgnhvHDp/s640/blogger-image--802983022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHqfeyDrfw4jxu7MlMSak4Z2j4zhC5wVBmIw1W-7dFJHGSoXexMvRLsNEIXiWH-RlgKT3ajQM7RkJpiJNDW82jtBQqBUsCV9Gcj-4sG-BvLAKfU-zKie2k9vT5tRktSYPTO1uLAgnhvHDp/s640/blogger-image--802983022.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05328608920073389682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453211294398689269.post-50233955558080295942014-10-29T19:30:00.001-06:002014-10-31T13:36:46.280-06:00Dennis Rubba of StudioINSITE lecture<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students visited the <a href="http://www.ftcollinswholesalenursery.com/" target="_blank">Fort Collins Wholesale Nursery</a> on Friday, the 26th of September. The Fort Collins Wholesale Nursery specializes in native species, xeric species and fruit trees. Ross Shrigley gave the tour. Some of the topics covered were how to "spec" a tree for a planting plan, b&b (balled and burlapped) vs. container planted trees, plant propagation and the Nursery's Integrated Pest Management program.</span><br />

The considerate and balanced
approach of Design Workshop, Inc. was evident in the talk Aspen office
colleagues Mike Tunte and Jay Courtney gave to landscape architecture students on
September 12th at Colorado State University. Discussing projects as far away as
China and as close as Denver, the team focused on urban design work. One
important lesson: set a framework for things to take place in an urban
environment. If you try to control every aspect of urban typologies, you’ll
wipe out the life blood of the city. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Design Workshop’s framework for
design balances the environment, economics, art, and the community, and the
success of their framework resounds in places of true value. Students admired the ideas and graphics as the two went through the process of their projects. When collaborating
with other firms or government agencies, Tunte offered some more advice: fight
for your idea!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

The Aspen office is offering a
winter break internship – check out the Design Workshop website
