Simon Kilbane

Simon is a landscape architect and academic with more than 15 years of experience working and teaching across Australia, UK, France, USA, Peru and New Zealand. His current role is as course director of the Landscape Architecture program at the University of Technology Sydney. 

Simon’s research and teaching explores the nexus between landscape architecture, ecological and urban design from the scale of the street to the urban region. He pursues creative and suitable responses for Australia’s lands and cities to current and future environmental challenges including rapid urban growth and climate change and argues for the critical role of landscape architecture to genuinely accommodate all species – and not just our own – through design.
