Landscape design in Australia has been dominated by two main design approaches; the international ethic emerging predominantly from United States and some European models, and the perceived Australian landscape design ethic seen as abstract representations of the Australian landscape. There are also new design approaches emerging from some designers who are working in a cross-cultural way which has the potential to become a uniquely Australian design ethic for the 21st century. This blog looks at some early Australian landscape designers as well as a few projects and design studios. It also describes a Peter Latz workshop in Brisbane.
