End of Year Show 2013
10th June 2013
A video of the Landscape Architecture End of Year Show 2013 is now available to view on YouTube – click here.
It was a wonderful event – a real celebration of the work put in by the Landscape students over the past year. It started with a superb presentation by Vanessa Powell (winner of last year’s Jo Yeates Landscape Design Prize awarded by BDP). Vanessa traveled to Japan to work with MIT on some of the coastal landscapes devastated by the recent tsunami. Her presentation was titled The Art of Surviving and can be viewed here.
Neil Mattinson, partner with LDA Design) opened the show with an inspirational talk about what the future holds for the Landscape Architecture profession (with some excellent tips on how to get a job thrown in!).
