In response to the overwhelming interest in the recent Hobart Waterfront International Design Competition, RMIT’s Landscape Architecture Alumni presented an exhibition of the Victorian entries and the overall competition winners. The event generated much discussion about competitions and practice providing an exciting opportunity to extend the design discourse within Landscape Architecture. The event, supported by the Competition’s organizers Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority, was intended to generate informal discussion about the position of landscape architectural design in Victoria, design processes and competition constraints. Many of exhibitors attended from all over Victoria including staff from and were able to view each other’s panels and discuss their response to the competition brief. Darren Atkinson, President of AILA’s Victorian Chapter opened the exhibition and introduced the new RMIT landscape architecture Program Director, Rosalea Monacella who announced all the new student awards – acknowledging that many of the company sponsors were attending.
