Landscape Architecture

Landscape exists at all scales, from micro to macro, from garden to city, from political to infrastructural. Landscape is specific to site, time and process. Landscape appears, reacts and merges with a multitude of forces, visible or invisible in the environment.

Landscape Architecture at RMIT invests in the importance of design research as a means of responding, observing and critiquing the status of contemporary urban society and how it manifests itself as a physical event. Landscape Architecture at RMIT equips individuals with tools to provoke, question, act and practice.

RMIT’s location in the heart of the city of Melbourne, Australia, in addition to providing a wealth of practicing professionals of distinction as staff members and as critics, has a profound effect on many other features of the program. Students live, work and study in a world city. Melbourne provides an urban laboratory unparalleled in its stimulation and opportunities for research as much as in its social and cultural institutions.
