It's about Time

We are very excited to be able to introduce the 2006 IFLA Eastern Region Conference, an event we have been eagerly awaiting.

The landscape profession is increasingly working with a greater diversity of cultures and environments than ever before. The bringing together of our international colleagues and those closer to home is an opportunity to discuss some of the real challenges being addressed by landscape architects in the region.

The challenge of our conference title - “Time” - lies in how we embed lasting value in our work for the future, based on a sincere understanding of how the past creates the social and cultural framework within which we work. And of course it’s also about managing and enjoying the present, about connecting with your fellows, and perhaps about taking some time off from the emails!

I look forward to seeing you in Sydney in May 2006.

National President

TIME: The past, present and future

As landscape architects, we are in the unique position of being able to shape the very landscapes that we inhabit.

In doing so, we require an understanding of the past, present and future - this inherently roots our profession in the notions of change and time.

The last few years have highlighted more than ever that change is a constant and inevitable component of life on earth, and our challenge as professionals is to embrace and manage that change to achieve the best possible outcomes. This conference will offer an opportunity for landscape architects and allied professionals to come together to discuss these core issues.

The New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects is very pleased to co-host the conference and we sincerely hope that you will join us for what will be a challenging and inspiring conference at Darling Harbour in Sydeny in May 2006.
