Panel Discussion: Landscape Architects as Change Makers

Presented by University of Melbourne, RMIT University, and the Japanese Landscape Architecture Union.

Time: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Date: Sun, 21 May 2023

Location: The Dulux Gallery

Tickets: Eventbrite

Australia and Japan are countries where landscape qualities are celebrated and revered. Yet this does not mean that practising landscape architecture is always smooth sailing. Join us for a conversation about what it means to be a contemporary landscape architect in Japan and Australia. What can we learn from each other? What qualities of practice emerge from our very different cultural, economic and ecological contexts? 

This lively discussion forms part of the Landscape Architects as Change Makers exhibition (curated by Heike Rahmann & Jillian Walliss) on display in the Dulux Gallery, Melbourne School of Design. Funded by the Australia-Japan Foundation, this event in RMIT’s iconic Storey Hall offers the rare opportunity to hear from visiting and expat Japanese landscape architects, along with some of Australia’s finest designers.

This event is presented as part of Melbourne Design Week 2023.
