| dc.description.abstract | Kevin Wood Landscape resides in Austin, Texas as the premier residential landscape design firm. The firm, although small in stature, tackles a variety of projects throughout Austin and the immediate Hill Country. Close inspection within this company's portfolio exhibits an admirable respect and knowledge of the central Texas ecosystem and natural terrain. Each of the company's main employees holds a vast knowledge in native Texas and adapted plant species for most any situation. For the duration of the 2001 summer, I engaged in a comprehensive internship program within Kevin Wood Landscape as a design intern. The two owning partners and the three senior designers took me under their collective wing to train me in the many facets of a small landscape design firm. During my internship experience, I began by principally aiding in site information attainment, graphic renderings, and bidding techniques before being given license over a final project that would be my own. The experiences garnered with the firm led me through each facet of a design program, building a base from which to control my own landscape project. Toward the last weeks of my practice I was managed a landscape's design from the first step to the very last. The process would begin with the initial client consultation and would lead to the final proposal, which would initiate site construction. | en |
