An acknowledgment I begin by acknowledging the Cammeraygal, Gadigal and Dharawal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional custodians of the unceded land, sea and skies I have grown, played and learned. I pay respect to Elders past and present and acknowledge and thank them for their generosity in sharing of traditional values, language, customs and knowledge of the Australian Landscape which has afforded Australian landscape architects an invaluable understanding of Country. I endeavor to work with Custodians of the Country on which I
design wherever possible.

LILY ODINS For me, Landscape architecture is a duty of care and an ability to create. My focus in the field has been on creating spaces in close communication with Indigenous custodians and community members which are multi-programmatic, productive, sustainable and beautiful. It is vital that we demand complexity and productivity from existing urban green-space so as not to continue land-clearing and habitat destruction via extensive urban sprawl. My desire is to create green space which reintroduces and re-mediates fragmented ecological groups, is productive as an educational, agricultural or economic hub and is first and foremost, a space which links communities together and connects them to place. I believe designing meaningful spaces for people to enjoy and live alongside fosters a sense of pride, connection and custodianship that inspires upcoming generations to value and demand the protection and more sustainable integration of our natural environments.

Design Studios Design studios are an integral part of the Landscape Architecture education. Learning to interpret, respond to and even challenge a design brief with an idea that represents your identity as a designer is key to our professional development. Throughout my studio practice, my identity as a designer, my style, my values and my mission as a landscape architect has developed and evolved.

Studio 7 - Design with a complex program Term 3, Year 3, 2021
Moore Park S - HUB Explore the past, Learn for the future.
My design response was focused on utilizing existing green space but focusing on making it multi-functional in keeping with the group project we worked on prior. S-HUB was designed to be a space that recreated the remnant Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS) vegetation community, inviting people to explore the past whilst providing numerous interactive education opportunities about sustainable design for the future. I set this design up with 3 key zones: - Flow - Tones -Wonder

Analysis at Angus This project revolved around the concept of “commons”. It involved producing analysis diagrams exploring the site’s context, topology, topography and the future of the site all whilst exploring how the site functions as a commons for animals, plants and humans alike. We then used this analysis to inform a design concept in the next studio.

Cohabitation
Productive coexistence + a response to our changing Climate In response to record flooding (in 2021) and an increased push for urbanisation in the Western sydney suburb of Marsden park, I challenged the brief and created a design that prioritized the habitat of native flora and fauna whilst allowing users to engage in a way that did not disturb or further fragment habitat. I identified key species of migratory bird that used these wetlands as important habitat as well as the endangered green and golden bell frog and conducted research to understand what was required to create or recreate ideal habitat for these species. My design consisted of 5 key zones for animals, humans and plants. For animals: Zone 1: Flood ephemeral non disturbance zone Zone 2: Raised flood proof minimal disturbance zone
Section AA - Interactive wetland play
For people: Zone 3: Full access integrated wetland zoning Zone 4: Paths and hideaways For plants: Zone 5: Remnant patch rehabilitation zone

Analysis Diagrams This project was primarily research based and did not ask full resolution of concept, these diagrams explore my process and demonstrate a resolution.
Pond diagram sections Buffer diagrams
Raised wetland pool constructed with flood proof barriers, constructed in full sun. This pond is too deep with no access points for frogs. Constructed pond would be surfaces so as to create sloped banks for frogs to access the ponds and to offer exposed and sheltered areas of water. Ponds are then planted with Bullrush and Club rush species to create shelter. However, areas of full sun still remain. Rocks and logs can be added as perches for birds.

Studio 1 - Interior architecture design fundamentals Term 1 Year 4, 2022
Remnants
How will we live together if there is nothing left? For this subject we were designing an interior installation, extension and standalone object for the Venice Biennale, based in the existing Australian Pavilion. The design was under the theme “How will we live together?” If we - humans and the environment, continue to live together as we are now, there will be mass irreparable destruction of ecosystems and species worldwide, in Australia, our environment is being forced into smaller and smaller patches of land as mass flooding, pollution, bushfires and urban sprawl take over.

Studio 4 - Detailed design resolution Term 2 Year 2, 2020
Skov i Himlen
Play, rest, move, reconnect. For this project our focus was on detailed design resolution and engagement with community stakeholders on a foreign site in Copenhagen, Denmark. Our brief involved designing a bridge that could accommodate both pedestrian and cycle users whilst also being a space that could unite the community through more passive uses such as food and art festivals, play and cafe space. My design was informed by the culture of Copenhagen - the art, food, sense of community, focus on sustainability and love of cycling. Skov i Himlen, or “Forest in the sky” is a space to pause the commotion of day to day life and reground. A space for community to play, rest, move and reconnect. A sustainable designed floating forest to escape the heart of bustling Copenhagen.

Hand Drawing Hand drawing has always been one of my strengths and has been integral to providing a unique voice in many of my projects. The communication between my creative imagination and a pen or pencil has always come more naturally than translation into digital mediums. Whilst in latter years of my degree, it is promoted more heavily as a planning skill rather than for final design resolution, my preference is to include both hand and digital rendering in projects to communicate my ideas as I have imagined.

Studio 2 - Design process Term 3, Year 1 , 2019
Hidden Whispers Analysis and process drawings This studio focused on process and analysis through hand drawing. My project “Hidden whispers” pays homage to the She-oaks that populate the site. My design intervention features a contemplative elevated boardwalk through the whispering she-oaks that ends in a sloped meadow down to the waters edge with sheltered hide outs for users to rest and take in the history of the site.

Studio 3 - Landform and planting design Term 1, Year 2, 2020
Engulfment Landsculpture This studio was based in the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney and was designed to be a response to the bush fires that ravaged Australia in 2019. The response was required to be in the form of a land sculpture - a blend of landscape and art that is intrinsically interactive. My design response was designed to mimic the experience of terror and discomfort that these fires brought to many coastal communities. The sculptural element forms a wind tunnel that mimics the roar of a bush fire as you are engulfed in varying stages of darkness along the path that dives into the hillside. The topography of the site I chose was thus essential to the message of my design.

Design Documentation Design documentation is key to the construction and resolution of conceptual ideas. Whilst our introduction to this practice was limited in the course, it is a skill I have been able to develop further in professional practice, and aim to improve on continually throughout my career.

Design Documentation 2 Term 2 Year 2, 2020
Design Documentation
Development of construction documentation skills Throughout my university career I have been introduced to construction documentation and have been required to complete documentation plans and details for some of our studio work. These drawings were required in tandem with our 5th studio - detailed design and resolution and give some insight into my experience with construction documentation.
