Hello AILA folk!
We are considering the marketability of a Graduate Certificate (4 units or subjects) in Conservation of Historic Landscapes, or something similar.
I know I would love be involved in teaching it! Is anyone interested in studying it?
I trained at the University of York (MA-Conservation Studies 1990) which has informed my practice as a heritage consultant and a teacher. Professor Gini Lee has joined us here at QUT and we would be the chief staff involved, with special appearances by other QUT staff as needed.
I envisage lots and lots of expert guest lecturers which was the model at York. We want to make it solidly practical with an emphasis on conservation plans prepared through design studios investigating REAL historic landscapes.
Interested anyone?
Dr. Jeannie Sim, QUT, Brisbane.

The National Office was contacted by a teacher of Year 10 Graphics Technology at Port Hacking High School, on the southern side of Sydney.
He have the class currently undertaking a module on Landscape Drawing and was wondering if any AILA members could suggest a few good on-line Australian landscape symbol libraries they can access for symbols to use/duplicate in class exercises.
The school has found a handful, but none that they would describe as comprehensive by any means.
Failing that, are there any other sources of landscape drawing symbols could be recommended? (ie. not on the internet)
Are there any good Landscape Drawing related teaching resources you can recommend? (on or off line)
This is the first time they have run the Landscape Drawing module and they are very low on resources for it!
Thank you in advance for /any / help your members might be able to provide.
