Australian Landscape Architects & Heritage
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008I was recently talking about landscape architects and Heritage with Philip Palmer, one of our WA members, who has recently taken up a job with the National Trust WA.
Nationally we are wanting to identify those AILA members who are working in areas of heritage or cultural landscapes.
Are you in a practice that occasionally or most of the time specialises in this work, or are you working in these areas from within a government department or agency or a non-government organisation (national trust)? If so please make contact.
The AILA national council is considering what national actions should be initiated to position the profession and the AILA in these areas of work, locally and nationally and ultimately internationally.
Philip would also like to build up links and network with other Australian landscape architects on this topic.
We would very much also like to consider doing some profile work on the types of work being undertaken by Australian landscape architects in heritage and cultural landscapes; the work could be within Australia or international.
Hear from you soon
