https://www.larchitect.org/ https://www.bciburke.com/   Interested in typologies of the built environment - the artist and landscape designer explores the values and meaning embedded in structures and symbols using industrial materials and construction methods evocative of the urban space along with various landscapes. His artwork examines the relationship between humanity and the natural world, reflecting on how we intervene in the environment, imposing order and artifice, and how time will mark itself on the urban fabric. Andrade’s open-ended practice includes the use of a variety of mediums, ranging from drawing, photography, digital fabrication to sound, and are shown in various formats, including installations, public interventions and collaborations. He is of Mexican-American heritage and is originally from National City, California.

https://gofund.me/eed63e67 Hello, My name is Michael Trajan Todoran and I need your help. Currently my mortgage is 1 month delinquent and soon it will be two months delinquent.  In February 2023 I was unexpectedly laid off at a Landscape Architecture Firm. It was devastating. My wife and I discussed our options and we decided to launch HAPS Agency and pursue my passion for architectural photography and filmmaking. While setting up the Agency we used our savings to incorporate, purchase the required photography equipment, software, insurance, website, and bills. I have been drafting and designing landscape design simultaneously to support our family and because I still love that work. I am blessed that HAPS has wonderful clients and a steady revenue stream. However, the duration that it took us to get here has put us at a deficit. I’m asking my community to collectively help us acquire enough for 1 month’s mortgage so I can get a good night’s sleep without waking up fearing of losing our house that we worked so hard for. If you know me personally you know that when you are sick I’m the first one to visit you in the hospital, when you need financial support I’m the first one to donate, when you have no one to talk to, I’m there. This is a humbling and embarrassing situation to be in, but I can not let pride threaten everything we worked for especially since we are so close to homeostasis. I have been a relentless advocate for the Landscape Architecture community since 2015 and hope it can be returned in kind.   

We need a little help

this episode sponsored by: https://www.bciburke.com/ Cliff Garten Cliff Garten is an internationally recognized sculptor and founder of Cliff Garten Studio in Venice, California. By connecting people to places and infrastructure through sculptural material, social history and ecology, Garten's work locates the latent potential in every public place and situation to become more than the specific functions it appears to perform. Sculpture and landscape, function and form, like public and private experiences are never distinct, but exchange places throughout the day. Sculpture defines our interaction and movement by creating energy between things, generating interest in public activity, reframing our private lives and creating a sense of place within public and private realms. Garten received a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Landscape Architecture with Distinction from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

In his quest for new inspiration he discovered graffiti art and became part of the early L.A. graffiti scene which lead him to join the WCA (West Coast Artists) crew, one of seminal graffiti crews in Los Angeles. He then re-focused and aimed his creativity on computer graphics and art direction in the music and entertainment industries working on packaging and marketing material for indie and major record labels.  Today his work expresses an introspective reflection that seems to touch people. His pieces are filled with emotion and a sense of individual wonder that easily grabs the eye of the audience creating a connection that goes beyond the aesthetics. Wether mural, painting, digital print, or installation the expression in his work is undeniable.
