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

Site Visit

Wooo, now I've been up to Owen Sound and seen the site I'm working on and the rest of the city. A full day with a lot of new impressions and interesting thoughts. Thought I would share some photos taken from the day.










Snow?
The coolest building I found in Owen Sound. It is so busy!
This is the harbour where my site is for the project. It was freezing out side and no fun taking photos and notes...
This grain elevator is supposedly still operational, don't know if its still used though.
This building used to be an old brothel, where sailors coming in to port went for a nice cup of tea and biscuits... Today people of Owen Sound want to turn it in to a historic building to preserve this important piece of Owen Sound history.
