Hi there,

I am a Graduate Landscape Architect, looking into some job opportunities in Hong Kong. Despite the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architecture, could you suggest other web sites where to look for jobs? Is there any firm hiring at the moment?

Thank you,

Ale.

Many of us are planning or in the process of taking LARE exams. I am interested in starting a group that would help people like us prepare for these exams–there are so many prep courses offered in the United States, but , to my knowledge we Canadians are limited in this regard.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your response, somehow I missed it until now. Vellum is a bit pricey, so I ended up buying Canson light weight bond which works a lot like marker paper. I like your trace on foamcore style too. How do you mount it?

Tonie C. posted an update in the group BeLoose Graphic Workshop 12 years, 6 months ago

Hmm, can’t find a way to search these posts.
Has anyone found a place that sells marker paper on rolls? Alternatively… does anyone use vellum with ChartPak markers?
I’m sick of bond sucking up my markers, but I need large format. Thanks!

PS Hi Mike & Brian!
