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

So I'm here now, in Canada. So far most what I've seen is infrastructure, roads and warehouse like stores. Guess it's pretty much like that here. Would like a bit more architecture and urbanization for my part, haven't found the soul of Guelph yet, but I think this is going to be really awesome anyway. The landscape is pretty flat here I've notice as well.

A bit jet lagged and tired but I've managed to document just a little. Seems like we are six people living in this flat/house. Me, a Aussie bloke, a Swedish girl, a US girl and two more girls from South Africa. They all seem friendly and nice. Looking forward to getting some drinks soon and break the formal ice properly.

My first impression of Guelph and Canada. Parking lots....
...and roads. This is a nice treat, a sidewalk.

I have left my freezing days behind me in Scotland it seems. Found this promising notice above the thermostat. And I can assure you it's toasty in here. Why did I pack all those knitted socks?
