Landscape Architects as Change Makers, an exhibition curated by Jillian Walliss and Heike Rahmann in collaboration with Saran Kim, was a layered sensory experience of interviews, site footage, sketches, construction drawings and photographs. A comparative conversation of culture, practice and place, the display of eight Japanese and Australian projects by award-winning landscape architects, paralleled by a series of recorded conversations with practitioners, created a snapshot of landscape architectural practice in 2023.
It is rare to see an exhibition showcasing landscapeopportunity to share stories of place and to demonstrate the change made by the considered hand of the landscape architect. The curators successfully represented the scale of practice and the depth of engagement involved – and, importantly, underscored the process of design, as told by the landscape architects themselves.
