Jury
Citation: The Westland Plantscape Award recognises excellence in
planting design. Projects are assessed on the basis that planting
is an integral part of the design and contributes to the overall
aesthetics of the project. Plant selection should be carefully considered
and demonstrate innovation in planting design, appropriateness to
the site conditions and function.
The
2005 Westland Nurseries Plantscape Award goes to Barwick and Associates
for the University of Tasmania Student Residences project.
The
jury considered this project to be significant as while the use of
planting on this difficult site was restricted due to fire management,
slope and security issues, the landscape architect managed to use
indigenous planting in strong and innovative groupings and to integrate
the development with the site context.
