Anne Tyng is a spitting image of Naomi Watts. But I digress.
Cool read though:)

That was who I was thinking of actually

Have you seen this from a past OALA magazine, Ground.  Fourth Page:

Andrejs Verlis, I never knew him personally but had heard he want into video game level design after school at Guelph.  Unfortunately I don’t know how to get in touch with him, but I hope the article helps.  …[Read more]

Thanks, Ryland.  I will follow up with them.

Thanks, Eli.  If you could find his contact information that would be really helpful.

Once you get familiar with some basics, you can use this tool for your design purposes withe ease, a…[Read more]

I know of one here in London, Ontario…I will look for his contact info if that would be helpful

Just go with what your heart says. Both architecture, and landscape architecture are undoubtedly great fields to pursue your career provided that you have all the desirable qualities to become a promising architect like creative thinking, innovative ideas, thinking out of box, etc. 

true…but honestly I’m really only curious about general format, etc.. the kind of stuff CLARB OUGHT  to be making available to us anyway. 🙂

Hi, I took it and passed. I agree with Leslie above.

You may find people reluctant to discuss since they make you sign a waver before you take the exam that you will not discuss the exam with other candidates or on social media etc.

Thanks for the help!
