“The National Collegiate Landscape Competition was a truly life-changing experience,” he said. Mahadin was honored to have a chance to connect with other landscape architecture students and industry leaders at the event. The biggest challenge is to maintain creativity as you create visual animations that mimic reality in order to sell and explain our ideas as designers.”

“It has been a great educational experience for me and for the Mississippi State University team,” said Mahadin, who believes that there will be more growth in the use of 3D CAD software among landscape architects and landscape designers to “stimulate thinking conceptually to find design solutions. Though students who competed in the 3D Exterior Landscape Design competition had varying amounts of experience designing with Vectorworks software, Mahadin learned about Landmark over the past two years through NCLC, as well as through meeting others who are interested in 3D modeling. “I had to organize my time so I could have my drawing and perspectives at the end of the event.” “Time was the biggest challenge for me,” he admitted.

The winner, Amer Mahadin, an international student studying at Mississippi State University, said that completing his design was no small feat. Students only had 110 minutes to complete their designs. Judges assessed 23 competitors on six factors: meeting the client’s needs, functional use of horizontal and vertical space, design principles and creativity, appropriate use of hybrid (2D/3D) features, maximized use of 3D views, and graphics. In the 3D Exterior Landscape Design competition, Vectorworks issued a challenge for students to design a 2D/3D model of a landscape using Vectorworks Landmark software based on a scaled basemap.

Students got their hands dirty and had their wits tested by challenges ranging from irrigation troubleshooting and assembly to 3D exterior landscape design, while also attending workshops, a career fair, and a series of career development presentations, for which schools and teams could also win awards for attending.
Celebrating 40 years of bringing together students to challenge their abilities, NCLC provided career advancement opportunities while testing students’ skills in 34 competitive events. Students studying a variety of landscape-related fields represented more than 65 colleges and universities at NCLC, held at Mississippi State University from March 15 through 17. We talked to students from both events to hear their thoughts on the conferences, the landscape design community, as well as the future of the industry and their careers. In April, landscape architecture students converged on Columbus, Ohio for LABash 2016, an annual educational event featuring networking opportunities, seminars, and tours of the city. For example, the National Collegiate Landscape Competition (NCLC), which is an annual student career event organized by the National Association of Landscape Professionals, brought landscape industry students together from all over the United States in March to compete in challenges and show off their skills.
This past semester has been a time of growth for many aspiring landscape architects. Growing Strong with Student Landscape and Landscape Architecture Conferences
