I don’t mean to be negative, but I’ve been after Topos for maybe 3 years now to start an on-line version of their magazine. Seems kind of in the spirit of the content don’t you think? I don’t take paper anymore – magazines or newspapers – and yes I pay for the ones that provide good content and present themselves well. How about an iPad App Topos?…[Read more]

Thanks Stephanie, I see what you mean. Thanks so much!

STEPHANIE Landregan FASLA LEED posted an update in the group The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 6 months ago

Hello Colm
it seems that money is a big issue when it comes to subscriptions. But as long as you get good value for your bucks or pounds it is a good inverstment. If Guinness is good for you, Topos is better 😉

Colm Dooley posted an update in the group Topos 14 years, 7 months ago

Hello,I really like the Topos magazine, I just haven’t been able to afford it in a while. When my budget allows I will re subscribe and maybe someday back date, now that will be a good day.

Robert Schäfer posted an update in the group Topos 14 years, 7 months ago
