Kerb 31: Limit—Launch party
Please join the Kerb 31 Editorial Team, RMIT’s Landscape Architecture Programs and Bookshop by Uro to celebrate the launch of Kerb 31: Limit.
Kerb is a student-edited journal of landscape architecture and has been produced by RMIT University for over three decades. Kerb Journal is one of the longest-running publications of its kind in the world.
Kerb 31 explores the role of limits in navigating design complexity. Increasingly knotty social and environmental challenges, and more sophisticated and powerful digital tools, are putting pressure on traditional landscape architecture practice. In the face of these challenges, this edition of Kerb celebrates the counterintuitive potential of embracing landscape architecture’s limitations to both understand and expand its potential. Contributors include renowned landscape architect Teresa Moller, who discusses her experience with limits in her career, and Mike Hewson, who delves into how the limits of construction standards affected his design of Melbourne’s ‘risky’ new playground, ‘Rocks on Wheels’.
Kerb 31 will be launched on 9 August at Bookshop by Uro, Collingwood Yards, 6-8pm.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided and entry is free.
