A big announcement !……this year, the UNSW Landscape Architecture Programme turns 50!
This year, the UNSW Landscape Architecture Program celebrates the significant milestone of its 50-year anniversary, as the first Landscape Architecture degree program founded in Australia.
A heartfelt message from our Vice President Miriam Enoch - UNSW alumni
This is an incredible milestone for our profession, marking both how far we have come and the exciting journey ahead.
It is time to come together and celebrate our achievements in the profession, as well as to honour our faculty for their hard work and dedication.
I graduated from UNSW in 2006, and over the course of my four-year degree, I made many lifelong friends. It has been a pleasure and joy to watch them achieve so much in their careers and personal lives since then.
To all past and current students of the UNSW Landscape Architecture Programme, I invite you to join us at this wonderful event, where we can all come together and reflect on our progress.
I also urge those who are not alumni to attend, as celebrating this milestone is a significant achievement for the landscape architecture profession.
Come and spend an evening celebrating the past 50 years and looking forward to the future.
Event details
All are welcome to join us for an evening of celebration on Friday 25th October at The Calyx, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. The evening will be cocktail style with canapes, substantial food, the best of local wine and beverages, live music, and a few alumni from over the past five decades speaking about the public impact of the program's diverse alumni. Purchase you tickets here.
We have many events on the go at the moment - keep your eye on your inbox and come join us for expos, site visits and online learning!
