My name is Herb Sweeney.
I am a graduate from Landscape Architecture Program from 2003, and I am a senior associate
at Landscape Architecture of Michael Van Valkenburg Associates
in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
I think my simple explanation of landscape architect is it's everything beyond the walls
of architecture.
So, from park spaces to street scapes, urban conditions, the campuses.
A typical busy day, it all depends on what stage of the project that I working on we're at.
Currently my typical day or I guess, weeks, are composed of a lot of travel.
My project currently I'm working on is in Texas, so I'll spend upwards of three
to four days a week out at the project site.
I'm working with landscape contractors, working whole various different trades
in construction as they're building the project.
But on stages where we're in design phases, it's more in the office working
with consultants trying to coordinate drawings to get these projects constructed.
