“I have high hopes that GIS will become increasingly relevant for lands...” — Jack Dangermond Quote

I have high hopes that GIS will become increasingly relevant for landscape architects as we make the tools easier to use for the design process of just inventory and mapping.

You have to be very fast-thinking, creative, and mobile. It is key to making a business move.

You have to decide who you are going to serve - stockholders or your customers.

I am hunting for people who would be a good colleague or a teammate, not someone who works for me.

GIS, in its digital manifestation of geography, goes beyond just the science. It provides us a framework and a process for applying geography. It brings together observational science and measurement and integrates it with modeling and prediction, analysis, and interpretation so that we can understand things.

Design is an expression of one's most deeply rooted internal values.

The mission of professional mountain climbers is almost impossibly difficult by design: Their very livelihood is based on achieving the unprecedented. Their expeditions are complicated, exhausting, often life-threatening. Risk is the fuel that keeps them going.

For much of its existence, design was all about convenience. We wanted to hide technology so that users are not distracted into thinking about the tools they use.

By means of tracing-paper I transfer my design to the wood and draw on that.

Actually the hardest films to make are comedies. In normal life, funny things happen by accident; to re-create those by design in a film takes real technique.
