AILA National Landscape Architecture Award for Place Value Ashfield

01-PLACEVALUE-MULTIPLE AUTHORS.jpg

We’re proud to share that Place Value Ashfield, our project with Daniel Jan Martin, has been acknowledged with a national AILA Award of Landscape Architecture for Research, Policy and Communication.

Of the project, the awards jury commented:

“This design-based research project explores the leadership landscape architects can provide to medium-density infill projects, using one of Perth’s inner-city suburbs as its testing ground. While the landscape scope of infill projects is typically minimal and understood on a site-by-site basis, this project brings landscape from periphery to foreground, exploring the site, precinct and suburb-scale opportunities introduced by this shift. The project demonstrates leadership in all aspects of the project: through the landscape-led design outcomes developed; through the landscape architect-led collaboration and coordination approaches across the project’s multidisciplinary team; and through the research and advocacy material the project has generated. Overall, the project responds to the gap it identifies with creativity and rigour, providing useful knowledge, tools and precedent to the profession.”

A big thank you and congratulations to project supporters Future West (Australian Urbanism) and the UWA School of Design.
