ANTHONY WAIN is forever traveling, losing luggage and working towards defining the role for a “barefoot landscape architect” in the emerging (previously third) world.
His work has involved extensive public participation work with local and regional communities, lobby groups and the scientific community specifically on the rehabilitation of a portion of the canalised Liesbeeck River working with the Friend of the Liesbeeck and UCT Freshwater Ecology Unit.
Anthony has been appointed as landscape consultant to the Mauritian Ministry of Environment, worked on Waterfront planning proposals for Libreville, Gabon, Lagos, Nigeria, Piraeus Greece and developments in Mozambique.
His role as a project coordinator including civil, architectural and landscape works has covered all aspects of design and construction; conceptual, Integrated Environmental Management procedure, masterplanning, site protection and resource conservation, cost estimation, budget and programming, and implementation through subsequent site management.
As partner in a Town Planning Company, he has been involved in hundreds of subdivision designs and applications. These range from low cost, high density housing layouts, to up-market, eco-estates, game lodge estates, golf estates and marinas. He has been intensively involved with the generation of both architectural and landscape architectural guidelines for controlled development subdivisions.
His long experience in, both the field and in the property market has become invaluable. The innovation and enthusiasm he has been able to bring to bear have been fundamental in achieving personally held conservation ideals in terms of appropriate development, water conservation and sustainable South African Landscapes as well as diverse landscape projects worldwide.
In 2004 he was appointed as a senior landscape consultant to the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (Historic Cities Support Group).
