Dangerous Materials
I found this interesting article about dangerous materials found in most homes.
why pressed wood and particle board are dangerous! http://home.howstuffworks.com/dangerous-home-products3.htm
and carpet!

I know the green frenzy has caused many such articles of which some might be slightly over exaggerated or might be entirely true. Whether true or not, i would consider researching man made materials you plan on using in any of your projects and consider any healthier, sometimes labeled Eco friendly, alternatives.

Here are some photos from our Landscape Design field trip to Old Westbury Gardens in LI. I recommend visiting the garden if anyone is looking for a nice day trip, date :-), or just a great garden to go visit and enjoy. Admission: $10 -----> http://www.oldwestburygardens.org/
* They have a small canteen like cafe. The yummy home made lemonade and ice teas are thankfully cheap. :-) http://www.naftalistern.com/

I also recommend taking a trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens http://www.bbg.org/, this is a great mid day trip, lots of shade and quite a large garden. There is a small outdoor cafe, although food is prohibited anywhere else in the gardens. If you pay a visit to the Botanical make sure to take a camera and If you are going with a friend, your kids, or spouse etc. I would strongly recommend dressing up since the gardens are a wonderful backdrop for fun photos or portraits. Admission: Adults- $8 Students- $4

THE STUDENT DESIGN BLOG
Welcome to THE STUDENT DESIGN BLOG!
The Student Design Blog was created to help expose student work for everyone to see and discuss in order to help the students expand their professional image to the professional world. This blog was also created to help form a stronger student body!
To best use this blog use the label links to find what you are looking for. Note that these labels will be increasing as more posts are added, and hopefully will eventually include links to student exhibits and student projects etc., to student life/events, to class insights, and links to general school help and such. For Auto Cad related topics, look for the Cad Junkie link that I hope to have up soon!
Please contact me with any ideas you might have for this blog, and if you think you might want to be a contributing writer. The rest is up to you guys to help me out so we can create a successful exploitation of all our work!
