This November issue celebrates the 2023 National Landscape Architecture Awards. In the words of jury chair Claire Martin, the “2023 National Award winners offer valuable case studies on the benefits of good design. They demonstrate to our clients, collaborators and communities what is possible when, as a community, we invest in living infrastructure now and into the future.” These notable projects show how much thoughtful design can contribute to our civic realm, with effects welling out far beyond the strict boundaries of site and form. We extend a big congratulations to the practices and their collaborators that have been honoured in this year’s round.
In other news, we’ve been planning several themed issues for next year. Our February edition is guest-edited by Jela Ivankovic-Waters and Darren Hickmott and will examine the topic of “innovation” through a landscape architcture lens, offering practical insights into shifting organizational structures, recent technological developments and new design processes that can push the discipline forward. We’re also excited to be putting together another special edition of the magazine for later in the year that will spotlight the next generation of Australian landscape architecture practitioners and researchers and the values, concerns, practices and ways of working that are shaping our future profession.
As 2023 draws to an end, we’re excited to explore the possibilities the industry might unlock in 2024.
