This book explores the work of landscape architects in Australia since the 1960s. It describes how landscape architects are, as contemporary Australians, listening more closely to the language of the landscape and how they are designing new landscapes in response.
These designed landscapes manifest 'new conversations' between the land and its people, from the coast to the outback, the city and the suburbs. These works have their own story and meaning; they tell us something of Australia and how contemporary Australians live.
Catherin Bull holds the Elisabeth Murdoch Chair in Landscape Architecture at the University of Melbourne where she teaches, researches and publishes on theory and practice in landscape architecture and urban design. She contributes in a design review capacity, serving on national and state boards and design juries adjudicating on architecture, planning, urban design and landscape architecture and is a fellow and past president of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects.
