info I am constantly trying to further my experience as a student landscape architect with internships, multidisciplinary and community collaboration. I’m looking for an internship to develop me as a better designer. In turn, I believe that my ability would be an asset to any firm. I am a quick learner with an open mind and mostly a passionate future landscape architect!

Byfocusing on one example of an urban/rural transition .boundary in which the values for land are in conflict, propose a landscape architectural response to it and show that urban boundaries can be positive transitional elements between the urban landscape and undeveloped land.

report with c . evans

B r i e f The given brief to this project was to provide a linkage that is an 'easier option' that suits the character to connect the North and South side of Hyde Park along Park Street. The challenge rises as an urban design question and the need to justify the open ended brief to the tutor and other students in the studio.

Bentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basin Camping Site C l i e n t nsw national parks C o u r s e studio 6 landuse and planning studio Time Frame 7 weeks S e m e s t e r S1 , 2012 L e c t u r e r with g. fletcher B r i e f

The task was to redesign Bents Basin, a conservation area to promote its camping site and attract greater public from the city to the conservation area.

The key issues that the client highlighted maintenance and sustainability.

However, the main challenge of this design project lies with the changing context of Bent's Basin due to future development. This questions the programming/planning and design of the site in order to address the balance the conservation of the natural site and human activities to promote social and environmental. sustainability.
