CULTIVATE: Planting for Climate Change

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

A discussion chaired by Paul Thompson AILA,  part of  AILA Victoria’s  ‘Cultivate’ series of talks. (This AILA forum Thursday 15 May 2008 at RMIT)

Registrants were invited to contribute beforehand by sending emails with questions, ideas, concerns and statements.

The evening began with an introduction from Paul Thompson.

This was followed by discussions using the emails to stimulate discussion between the 102 participants composed of landscape architects, students and allied professionals. The evening finished with broad spirited contributions from the floor.

It is suggested that you view the notes on the talk which have been uploaded to the AILA web site.

The art of Landscape Architecture has influenced the culture significantly in the past 40 years. It is now time to work closer with science to create site responsive landscapes for people and nature. 

This is the beginning of a continuing conversation.
