A
Landscape Architecture International Conference CALL
FOR PAPERS
The
Australian Institute of Landscape Architects
(AILA®) and The New Zealand Institute of
Landscape Architects (NZILA) are hosting The
International Federation of Landscape Architects
2006 Eastern Region Conference 25 – 27
May 2006 Darling Harbour Convention Centre,
Sydney, Australia.
Pre-conference
activities, including a student workshop, will
be held at UNSW on Thursday, prior to the official
conference opening with a public lecture on
Thursday evening, 25th May 2006 in the city.
Two
full days of conference sessions, on Friday
and Saturday, will feature Australian and international
speakers, including practitioners from New
Zealand, Asia and the South Pacific, practising
Australian landscape architects and academics,
and guests from related disciplines to provide
a broad context for discussion.
Tours
of Sydney’s best landscape designs will
be organised.
The
conference proceedings will be published, along
with documentation of the entries and results
of an international student design competition
to be held in conjunction with the Conference.
The publication will be produced by the Landscape
Architecture Program in the Faculty of the
Built Environment at the University of New
South Wales in Sydney.
Theme
At
this conference, national and international
speakers will address the pivotal role of time
and change in the practice of our profession
and its cumulative effects on both contemporary
society and the landscape.
The
presentations will explore the theme of TIME
from a variety of perspectives:
Time as Catalyst
Designing with Time
Time and Technology
Time
as Catalyst (Theory & Concept) will include:
• The ephemeral qualities of landscape; aesthetics of landscape processes
such as growth, weathering and decay;
• The pace of time and its landscape impact, such as rapid change in new
cities;
• The concepts of time that describe our understanding of design, such
as ‘contemporary’, ‘timelessness’, ‘of our time’,
modern, post-modern, futuristic;
• Longevity and resilience of landscapes;
• The experience of landscape and time: high speed landscapes and slow
speed landscapes.
.
Designing
with Time (Design) will include:
• The art of maintenance, the maintenance regime, regimes of care, design
by maintenance;
• Managing time: heritage landscapes;
• The politics of time: how the cycle of politics affects the delivery
of landscape projects, for example the 3-year cycle vs the 20/50 approach;
• Designing for the unexpected time: disease, fire, flood, tsunamis, drought,
salinity;
• Flexible landscapes: landscapes that adapt over time to suit changes
in program.
• “Just in time” landscapes, i.e., the art of landscape installations
and garden festivals.
Time
and Technology (Design and Technique) will
include:
• Modes of representation of time, modes of managing time;
• Using technology to map time/changes over time, using technology to design
within the processes of time;
• Visualising time in the landscape design process.
Conference
Organisation
Approximately
18 papers total will be selected for presentation
at Forum Sessions within the two-day conference
program.
A special session on the last day will bring together the themes
of Forum Sessions and provide an opportunity for all delegates

In particular the format for the Forum Sessions is yet to be finalised.
