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 😉

If you are a member of that group (and maybe even if you’re not – worth contacting Susan about if you’re interested), please consider submitting an article for the next newsletter.

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.

Hello and welcome!
This is the new group Topos. We would like to discuss here communication and media issues related to Landscape Architecture and relevant publications – and, for sure: promote Topos.

I seem to have left off my website address.

I created my website a few weeks back, just with a taste of my work, I figure if prospective employers/ clients like what they see, they can ask for more.

First attempt at this, any criticism would be helpful. Let me know what you think.

I primarily use my website for my portfolio.

It was done several years ago. Now with blogging supposedly so important in marketing, I’m wondering if I need to re-do my site so that it can be interactive. Any opinions?

I believe it is a Nvidia 280 GTM, middle of the range but still better than the one on my old computer that ran max 2010 quite well. i7, 8 gigs of ram. Having some photoshop problems too. pretty much everything is frames per second related, it makes zooming and moving things around so hard.

New article that you all might be interested in: “Gardens for Recovery.”

My experience with 3ds max 2010 on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 has been very good. Its certainly a huge step up from Vista. I’ve got a nice set of graphics cards though so maybe thats the difference. What kind of hardware are you running?

So what are people’s experiences with windows 7 and max? I am running 7 professional 64bit and max 2010 64 bit and having some problems, mainly graphics card related. very low fps which is making it hard to model. though I am hoping that max 2011 which comes out in the next month will help.

The “felt” fabric. Blanc’s installations has two layers of fabric that he drips his water/fertilizer solution through. This is a non-soil installation. The plants root into the fabric and fed by the solution.

barlow, I would really be interested in seeing what European style sketches are and what one would percieve is the common american style of drawing?

Too many palm trees, so here is my frozen front yard, Shawn White eat your heart out!
