Conway School: Conway Institute Online Mini-courses in QGIS, Site Grading, Environmental Art

The Conway Institute, part of The Conway School (formerly the Conway School of Landscape Design) in Northampton, MA, USA is offering several short online courses beginning this month:

QGIS for All: From LiDar to Topos with QGIS - Learn the basics of QGIS and how to prepare a topographic map and slope analysis for your design project using this free software. Starts 1/13/22.

Site Grading Fundamentals - Learn how to design grading for a site to prevent erosion, move or infiltrate stormwater, and/or create a resilient building site.  Starts 1/23/22.

QGIS for ArcMap Users: Making the Transition - Learn how QGIS and ArcMap compare and how to problem-solve using the free software of QGIS. Starts 2/10/22.

Solving Complex Site Grading Problems: A Hands-On Workshop in Grading Design - Building on the Site Grading Fundamentals course, this course will explore more complex grading problems and provide plenty of time for instructor interaction. Participants need to have a solid base of understanding of grading prior to class. A prerequisite for this course is either completion of the Site Grading Fundamentals course or completion of a grading exercise provided prior to registration. Starts 3/13/22.

Environmental Art in the Landscape: From Idea to Installation - Art integrated into a landscape setting helps to illustrate the ecological, social, and historical narrative of a garden or landscape and can contribute to the overall sense of place. Get a window into the process of Environmental Art from idea to installation through an examination of Todd’s project “The Nest” at the Hitchcock Center for the Environment as a case study. You’ll see films, onsite commentary, and have time for Q and A with Todd. 1/18/22.
