Post from Sue Wake showcasing an interesting project. Why is it always architects? Mind you, it looks a bit dangerous! Or at least scary.

About Us

Unitec's department of Landscape Architecture is currently experiencing a new and exciting period of growth, evoloution and change. Traditional landscape threads such as gardens, nature and aesthetics long associated with the profession are now being strengthened and complimented by notions of interplay, chance and change. Ecological restoration, revitalization of civic space, urban fringes and infrastructural wastelands form the fabric of modern landscape architecture. Social, environmental, cultural and economic issues are drivers for this change, influencing and forming a new character for landscape disciplines. As a consequence of this new character Unitec graduates learn a new language that enables them to acquire design techniques that represent, test and critique ideas and concepts that address these shifting drivers.
