This blog is about a landscape architect student studying at ECA (Edinburgh College of Art) and currently on exchange in Guelph, Canada, this blog will focus on exploration and the experiences, insights and reflections during this exchange here in Canada.
I have been told on several occasions by different lecturers and visiting professionals in the educational system that landscape architecture is a lot of things, but "...it's not art". A statement that sometimes feels a bit narrowed minded to make, but can hold some truth to it. //-Jacob

First Impressions

I've actually been here for a few weeks now so the first couple of post will be sort of retrospective nature.

Straight from the airport, jet lagged and without sleep for 36h I basically crashed face down in my residence bed, sleep would come first, exploration will come second.

When I woke up the next day I went out to have a look around, trying to get some sense of direction and discovery. What I found was a bit confusing. Doing my homework before I left (that being browsing through Guelph's Wikipedia webpage for 10 min) I was expecting a city. Small in size but none the less a city. But there was none to be found outside my small residence area.

More to come on this topic.
