LEARNING FROM THE LANDSCAPE: LINDA CORKERY Foreground: Your early life was not spent in Australia. For landscape architects the landscape itself often seems influential. Can you tell us a little about where you grew up? Linda Corkery: I was born in Iowa, so I’m a Midwestern girl and up to the age of twelve, my family lived in a small rural town. My backyard, beyond a lilac hedge, was basically a cornfield. FORTY YEARS OF THE BURRA CHARTER AND AUSTRALIA'S HERITAGE Arriving at the Burra Charter. The Burra Charter was an Australian ‘re-invention’ of the Venice Charter. An author of the Burra Charter, architectural historian Miles Lewis argued that the Venice Charter ‘takes it for granted that we know what our historic monuments are, what makes them historic, and how we want to preserve them’. It worked for the great monuments of stone like the BEAUTIFUL UGLY.

His work is held in a number of Australian collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of NSW, and the State Library ofQueensland.
CHILDREN ARE AN 'INDICATOR SPECIES'; BUILD WELL FOR THEM In Sydney, an estimated 28% of apartment dwellers are families with children, but while this demographic is increasing in many compact neighbourhoods throughout Australia, there is a persistent belief among some decision-makers that families neither belong in higher density developments, nor want to live there.At best, this discourages more families from choosing to live in compact DETOXING THE RIVER: TOWARD A SWIMMABLE YARRA The conversation seems to be changing and we just might be witnessing a significant shift in our collective understanding.

Written in English and Woiwurrung, the language of the Wurundjeri, the Act enshrines the voice of Traditional Custodians, their knowledge and culture.

WHY CAN’T YOU GROW FOOD WHEREVER YOU WANT? Why have land-use zones? Modern town planning originated in the 19th century out of the need and ability to separate unhealthy, polluting uses from the places where people lived.

HIGH WATER: HOW DESIGN MIGHT HELP FIX THE WHEATBELT’S With 85% of Perth’s water coming from groundwater and plans to expand its already unsustainable use, the aquifer could become terminally low or saline; this would lead to terrible results for both people and the environment. For this reason, it is vital that communities in the Wheatbelt become self-sufficient in all water needs, to ensure the long-term viability of both farms, the rural WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE: A CONVERSATION WITH CHARLES MASSY Water, water everywhere: A conversation with Charles Massy. As drought bites in Australia and politicians obfuscate the underlying issues, farmer and author Charles Massy reveals his vision for a resilient agriculture that not only acknowledges climate change, but PARADISE LOST: THE FORGOTTEN LANDSCAPE LEGACY OF MARION Paradise lost: The forgotten landscape legacy of Marion Mahony Griffin. An exhibition of Marion Mahony Griffin’s design highlights how our obsession with the singular object and heroic author has worked to obscure the transformative impacts of ecological and cultural skills and knowledge.

PAVED FOR THE PEOPLE: IN MELBOURNE, A PARKING LOT HAS Paved for the people: In Melbourne, a parking lot has become a public square. “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,” sings Joni Mitchell.
