What Atkins provides through its vast multidisciplinary (and international) expert base is a one-stop shop for mainly public sector clients. The projects Nick then proceeded to illustrate covered examples of cutting-edge high-tech road and railworks, commuter transport solutions (the novel &#8220;park and stride&#8221;), flood defence systems and SuDS, landscape heritage, therapy gardens, university campus designs, even newt migration schemes. Of particular interest was the Chepstow town high street regeneration&nbsp; project, where the Atkins\u2019 landscape team worked closely with artists to create a scheme in which artwork was interwoven within the fabric of the design.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Nick&#8217;s talk also touched on matters of personal ethics, computer knowledge and software application and how students should prepare themselves for interview with a relevant CV and a representative portfolio whose contents can be readily described passionately.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">We appreciated the passion in your whole talk, Nick, and we look forward to visiting your offices in due course.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Professional Practice talk given by Nick Rowson of Atkins, Bristol Following a brief r\u00e9sum\u00e9 of his qualifications, the reasons for choosing his career path and early work experience, Nick [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,24,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-landscape-institute-professional-links","category-tl","category-vs"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
