RMIT LA Semester One Exhibition 〰️ June 19 - 22 RMIT Design Hub 〰️

The RMIT Landscape Architecture discipline is a world leading suite of design programs, and one of the oldest in Australia, exploring landscape as a medium that exists at all scales, from micro to macro, from garden to city, from political to infrastructural, from social to economic; and as a medium specific to site, time, and process.

Using critical, design-led enquiry and technical knowledge, internationally recognised faculty, industry partners and a diverse cohort of students engage with real-world projects to investigate and propose ethical and responsible ways of living and practicing in the 21st century.

Landscape architecture is a design-led practice which responds to the challenges of a complex and rapidly changing world through the innovative design with a focus on issues and ideas that respond to urban and regional landscapes at a range of scales.

Programs

 
  • The Bachelor of Landscape Architectural Design is about envisioning, investigating and proposing better ways of living in our complex and rapidly changing environments.

    Through design, students learn how the discipline of landscape architecture interacts with natural ecosystems and built environments as well as cultural and social frameworks.

    Curriculum is designed around thinking conceptually; developing ideas from careful observation and modelling those ideas to develop and test design proposals in response.

  • The RMIT Master of Landscape Architecture program provides the highest level of qualification for aspiring landscape architects, equipping students with the skills to become leaders and innovators in landscape architectural practice.

    The program engages with landscape architecture as a practice that can respond to the challenges of a complex, rapidly changing world through innovative design, and critically explores landscape as a medium that exists at all scales, from micro to macro, from political to infrastructural, from social to economic.

    The program seeks to extend landscape architectural practice, enhance the creation and publication of landscape architectural knowledge, and increase the discipline’s relevance through partnering with community, industry, and government.

  • The Master of Disaster, Design and Development (MoDDD) sits within the world-leading prestigious school of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT, and is a cross disciplinary degree that will enable you to work locally and internationally in the disaster, design and development sector.

  • We contend that research is conducted through designing and that the process of designing, as a means of increasing knowledge, parallels research in other areas in fascinating ways.

    The PhD is the exploration of new territories of design research, contributions to the knowledge base of the discipline, and steps toward the redefinition of aspects of design. The program also develops advanced technical research skills to prepare you for a career in industry, academia and other settings in which systematic and critical analytical skills are required.

    The Practice Research Symposium (PRS) at RMIT University lies at the heart of a long-standing program of research into what designers and artists actually do when they conceive and develop new and innovative approaches to creative practice. The research candidature becomes a process through which creative practitioners develop their research capability, becoming fully fledged creative practice researchers.

Yulendj Weelam Design Research Lab

 

Exploring how academics, Indigenous knowledge holders and design practitioners can work together to ensure Australia’s built environment respectfully celebrates, engages with and supports our First Nations people and culture.

‘Yulendj Weelam’ draws its name from Naarm [Melbourne]-based language groups. Yulendj is the Boon Wurrung word for ‘deep knowledge’. Weelam is the Boon Wurrung word for ‘home’. The lab is grounded on the premise that all architecture, landscape architecture and urban design requires a deep knowledge of the unceded land on which it is designed: of home.
