Sunburnt: Australian Practices of Landscape Architecture
Exhibition
Date: 6.00 PM, Friday 8th May 2009
Place: Shed 4, North Wharf Road, Victoria Harbour
Melbourne Docklands
The RMIT Design Research Institute, Urban Liveability Program and the QUT School of Design invite you to the launch of Sun-burnt: Australian Practices of Landscape Architecture. This exhibition examines spatial and material qualities that define the Australian landscape through the lens of landscape architecture. The presence or absence of water in its various forms determines much about the cultural and physical differences in Australia. Iconic aspects of the landscape will be explored through the richness of extremities, which are marked, but gradual in relation to the scale of the country. The discrepancy between ideas about and the reality of Australia are played out through the selected landscape design projects.
