Learning and teaching academic standards in landscape architecture
Developing and assessing learning outcomes for work-readiness and employment has been long overdue in Landscape Architecture in Australia, but few studies have shown how this could be done at a local level. Aligned with the academic standards for bachelor and masters levels, as mandated by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), an iterative three-stage approach was undertaken to develop Threshold Learning Outcomes (TLOs) for a revised nat…
Measuring magnitude of change by high-rise buildings in visual amenity conflicts in Brisbane
Water urbanism and “living with flooding”
Water in deltaic settlements is generally treated as a hazard or threat to vulnerable communities. This study aims to explore the social and spatial practices of three communities in Cai Rang, in Can Tho City, Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The aim is to discuss how “living with flooding” can inform a water urbanism perspective that might be useful to planners and designers in other deltaic environments. A mixed method approach is used to uncover how hou…
Towards an understanding of dialectical authenticity of historic landscapes in China
This article explores stakeholders' understandings of authenticity in a selected historic landscape of China, and focuses on views about appropriate conservation and management strategies. The World Heritage listed site, Slender West Lake Scenic and Historic Interest Area, is examined as a case study. The study shows that various stakeholders think the originality of fabric, the representation of intangible values, and social engagement are three…
Identifying a language of space in pre-reform Vietnamese housing
Deciphering Historic Landscapes
Historic landscapes today are changing gradually or abruptly, and the abrupt changes have caused the loss of much historic information. How to identify and protect the significant evidence of dynamic landscapes is a question that must be answered by each cultural community. This article establishes a decipherment process—an operational guide for landscape assessment in China. This is a methodology using European methods integrated with traditiona…
A rhetorical study of in-flight real estate advertisements as a potential site of ethical transformation in Chinese cities
Changing pedagogic codes in a class of landscape architects learning ‘ecologically sustainable development’
Professional discourse in education has been the focus of research conducted mostly with teachers and professional practitioners but the work of students in the built environment has largely been ignored. This article presents an analysis of students’ visual discourse in the final professional year of a landscape architecture course in Brisbane, Australia. The study has a multi-method design and includes drawings, interviews and documentary mater…
Ecological Landscape Planning
An understanding of the complex problems of land use competition requires an appreciation of natural processes, cultural values, economic imperatives and political agendas. This integrated understanding is an important component of the study program for tertiary students about to complete their professional qualification in landscape architecture at the Queensland University of Technology. This paper introduces a repertoire of game templates as a…
