FIRST LANDMARK LECTURE OF THE YEAR NOW ONLINE

Lee Parks – Development of Landscape Architecture in China

Recent Careers Talk Now Online

If you missed the recent careers talk, you can catch up with it online now:

Back for the new term and the last few remaining hockey matches of the season! 6-3 loss tonight against Architeers - but with such a great team who cares!

Competition time - for the redesign of the Interval Garden at the Student's Union.

Our vision for the Students’ Union garden is for it to be a space which provides benefit to a range of plants, insect and bird life as diverse as the students who use it! 

However, the vision needs to take account of the primary use of the garden – as a social space for Sheffield students. The best designs will balance practicality, biodiversity enhancement and budget, to create a template for a wonderful space which future generations of students (and wildlife) will enjoy! 

For more information - check your University Email where you can access the site vision in full and the site plan - or email landmark@sheffield.ac.uk

Submission date: 22nd April @ 5PM in the Floor 11 Computer Room

Ps. Sorry, we had a few technical difficulties and we weren't able to salvage the screen record of the Powerpoint presentation for this lecture.

"Is Landscape Architecture important in the developing world?"

Apologies for lack of audio with this presentation. Nat discussed the importance of the "Livelihood approach" to post disaster intervention. In particular environmental assets within disaster zone areas and the significance of landscape architecture for social and economic activity in areas of poverty. Regardless of economic status, people need space to express themselves freely and in this sense landscape has a very strong political and democratic importance. The presentation shows many case studies of how landscape is used effectively for urban development, improving livelihoods, communities and local quality of life.
