Room 4.1.3, Innovations in Landscape Architecture, Richard Weller

"The provocative use of symbolism is an essential part of landscape art today, and Weller and Sitta are at its forefront. Typically mixing the artificial and the natural, their work explores possibilities of the new urban park and its radical hybrid nature." --Charles Jencks, architect, critic, and author of The Language of Post-Modern Architecture.  November 2004

2000 SA Millenium
Landscape Architecture Project Award
Research and Communication

The 2000 SA Jury commented: This balanced and timely publication is well researched and thoughtfully presented, allowing it to be accessible to professionals and researchers, students, renovators and gardeners. The format is clear and easy to grasp, and allows the reader to 'dip in' at any point. The format sets a good precedent for further manuals in the series. The City of Adelaide and former Department of Heritage Environment and Aboriginal affairs are also to be congratulated for their role in the support and production of this document.
