Thoughtful Reprimand
The military leftbehind concrete fortifications partially submerged in the ice plant-covered bluffs; most notably, Battery Davis, a massive World War II-era artillery emplacement that once housed a 16-inch gun, flanked by a pair of smaller observation bunkers. Working closely with Lee Nelson of the Preservation Assistance Division, Hugh sought to bridge the growing divide between NPS Washington offices responsible for \"external\" programs that assisted states and communities outside NPS jurisdictions, and \"internal\" programs, such as his, that directly served the national parks. Nora Mitchell When I was asked in 1991 to launch the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation, the first NPS technical organization focused on the documentation, planning, and treatment of cultural landscapes, I turned to Hugh Miller for encouragement and advice. Hugh hired Robert Melnick from the University of Oregon to develop National Register of Historic Places standards for the preservation of these rural historic district landscapes.

Deep Learning Image Feature Recognition Algorithm for Judgment on the Rationality of Landscape Planning and Design
This paper uses an improved deep learning algorithm to judge the rationality of the design of landscape image feature recognition. The preprocessing of the image is proposed to enhance the data. The deficiencies in landscape feature extraction are further addressed based on the new model. Then, the two-stage training method of the model is used to solve the problems of long training time and convergence difficulties in deep learning. Innovative methods for zoning and segmentation training of landscape pattern features are proposed, which makes model training faster and generates more creative landscape patterns. Because of the impact of too many types of landscape elements in landscape images, traditional convolutional neural networks can no longer effectively solve this problem. On this basis, a fully convolutional neural network model is designed to perform semantic segmentation of landscape elements in landscape images. Through the method of deconvolution, the pixel-level semantic segmentation is realized. Compared with the 65% accuracy rate of the convolutional neural network, the fully convolutional neural network has an accuracy rate of 90.3% for the recognition of landscape elements. The method is effective, accurate, and intelligent for the classification of landscape element design, which better improves the accuracy of classification, greatly reduces the cost of landscape element design classification, and ensures that the technical method is feasible. This paper classifies landscape behavior based on this model for full convolutional neural network landscape images and demonstrates the effectiveness of using the model. In terms of landscape image processing, the image evaluation provides a certain basis.

Linking research through design and adult learning programs for urban agendas: a perspective essay
Local government are addressing energy transition, one of the prominent sustainability goals in the urban agendas, yet they need to enhance capacity building, therefore engagement with sustainability science and adult learning programs for civil servants are frequently activated. Landscape architects are more frequently called to be boundary spanners in complex sustainability goals. This perspective essay aims at reflecting on the synergetic links between adult learning approaches and landscape architecture research through design in the prominent field of the transition to renewable energy. The reflections will be narrated by means of a first application conducted for the Municipality of Amsterdam. The tentative implications suggests that a social learning environment founds synergetic links to a constructivist research through design approach.

Bridging policy gaps and institutional barriers in Nigeria's architectural registration
Architectural Registration in Nigeria has faced considerable challenges over the past eight years (2015–2023), impacting the profession's growth. This study identifies areas for improvement and offers recommendations to strengthen the registration process and enhance the architectural workforce in Nigeria. In an attempt to identify best practices and potential solutions to address the Architect's registration crisis in Nigeria. The study relied on thirty-four (34) structured interviews with Provisionally Stage II registered architects and fully registered architects from different parts of Nigeria, case studies examining twelve (12) architectural registration processes two from six continents and literature review aimed at discerning critical concerns and obstacles associated with the architectural registration crisis in Nigeria. The research findings reveal key challenges, including legislative and policy issues, institutional issues, and power struggles between architectural associations and regulatory bodies. The comparative analysis between architectural registration systems in various countries revealed similarities in areas such as education, experience, and differences in Continuing professional development (CPD), exam administration, and regulatory authority. The study discusses challenges for Nigerian Higher national diploma (HND) graduates and recommends amending the Architects registration council of Nigeria (ARCON) Act for clarity and collaboration. The research findings contribute to the existing literature on architectural registration by providing valuable insights and recommendations that can inform policy-making and decision-making processes in Nigeria. By addressing the registration crisis, the study aims to improve the professional environment for architects, enhance public safety, and foster the development of the architectural industry in Nigeria.

Spatial Orientation Skill for Landscape Architecture Education and Professional Practice
Professional landscape architecture organizations have requested training from educational institutions based on new skills and methodologies in the curriculum development of students. Landscape architects need to visualize and evaluate the spatial relationships between the different components of the landscape using two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) maps and geospatial information, for which spatial orientation skills are necessary. The data from six workshops conducted throughout the 2010–2020 period, in which 560 second-year engineering students participated using different strategies and technical tools for spatial orientation skills’ development, were collected in a unique study. Factors such as the technology used, the gaming environment, the type of task, the 2D/3D environment, and the virtual environment were considered. The Perspective-Taking Spatial Orientation Test was the measurement tool used. The results show that mapping tasks are more efficient than route-based tasks. Strategies using 2D and a 2D/3D combination are more effective than those with only 3D. First-person perspective gaming environments are also a valid alternative. The technologies applied in this study are easy to use and free, and a measurement tool is provided. This facilitates an interdisciplinary approach between landscape architecture education and professional practice since these workshops could also be easily carried out by professional bodies for landscape planning and management.

Evaluating the contributions of internship to landscape architecture education
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of internship on landscape architecture education in Turkey. Methodology: A questionnaire study on plantation and office internship training. In all 411 questionnaire forms were filled in a semi structured interview/questionnaire. The descriptive statistics in the SPSS 22 program was used for the evaluation. Results : The findings revealed that internship is considered necessary in terms of education and working life of a landscape architect. The findings have shown that internship duration was insufficient, its scope/number was inadequate, the placement of place was problematic, and its program was unclear, the process was uncontrolled and the evaluation was ineffective. Interpretation: In order to increase the contribution of the internship to the landscape architecture education, proposals such as increasing the internship period, development of internship scope/number,establishment of internship place database, supervising internship process, creation of internship training program and effective internship exams have been proposed.

OMMX
Jon Lopez and Hikaru Nissanke formed OMMX as recent graduates of the Architectural Association in 2010, having originally met during their undergraduate degrees at Cambridge University. Heavily influenced by their training, their practice approach is 'rooted in academia'. Still embedded in the AA - where they currently run a diploma studio - they have taught at Cambridge University, UCL, London Met and Central Saint Martins with a focus on how technology is 'disrupting the status quo and shaping people's lives'. With a small portfolio of completed buildings to its name, OMMX is best-known for beautiful detailed line drawings, complex renders and research intertwined with academic teaching. OMMX has been shortlisted for the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in two of the past three open competitions. Its most recent submission, Land of Exceptional Qualities, in collaboration with Brendan Cormier and Ruth Lang, reimagines the pavilion as a 'fantastical landscape' of unrealized architectural ideas. But its most widely published and anticipated competition win was an entry to design 22 affordable homes for not-for-profit housebuilder Naked House. Financially supported by the Mayor of London, all three sites started construction last year.
