A little to post to celebrate my last week at RMIT before moving to a new role at the University of Melbourne in March.

I started Landscape Architecture as a 'mature age student' at RMIT in 2001 and never really left!

Studying LA opened up a whole new world for me. I was so inspired by my peers and the ideas of academic staff that I was moved to be part of that culture. My focus over the last many years was on extending the ambition of LA as discipline and quality of the experience for students (not always succeeding...)

I am really grateful for my time at RMIT and at the same time excited for new challenges - thinking about education from a different perspective across disciplines.

And to the many of my former students, colleagues and collaborators who follow me, thankyou!

Reconnected! After a tree fell on the line on 1st Jan we spent two weeks 'camping at home', 2 weeks with generator and almost 5 months in temp accom. Very happy to be home! Thanks to everyone for listening to me complain about this :)

A new case study of Bendigo Hospital has been published to the Landscape Architecture Foundation’s award-winning Landscape Performance Series. This unique online database now includes over 180 exemplary landscape projects with quantified environmental, social, and economic benefits.

The impact of Bendigo Hospital was assessed and documented through LAF’s innovative Case Study Investigation (CSI) program, a unique research collaboration among faculty researchers, designers, and students. Together with Peter Grant (@pretty_good_thanks), we found a range of benefits across economic, social and environmental domains. It was wonderful to investigate such a fantastic project. Special thanks to Claire at @oculusstudios, Joan O’Brien at Capella Capital, Bendigo Hospital research team and @lafoundation for the opportunity to contribute to the program.

Delighted to share that Designing Landscape Architectural Education: Studio Ecologies for Unpredictable Futures, Edited with @rosalea_monacella is out today. (link in bio)

This publication asks designers and academic practitioners to describe their own work through an ecological lens, and then to articulate design approaches for developing new practices in landscape architecture teaching.

Grateful to the inspiring contributors who generously shared their insight. Collectively arguing that a business-as-usual approach in design education will be inadequate to face the challenges of the climate crisis; therefore, a deep reconsideration of the role of design and the designer is a required starting point for adapting the curriculum.
