LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

I acknowledge the Cammeraygal and Gadigal peoples of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of the unceded lands in which I have lived, worked and studied on.
I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and I would like to acknowledge their generous contributions and sharing of culture, values and practices to the landscape architecture profession. I would also like to thank them for sharing their deep knowledge, wisdom and spiritual connection of the unique local Australian landscape that allows us as landscape architects to better understand our land.

My name is Julia Shreeve and I am currently in my third year of a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Honours) at the University of New South Wales.
Working as a nursery hand at Alpine Nurseries in Dural has provided me with a comprehensive knowledge base of plants and horticulture and all aspects of the industry, from plant mainte nance and potting to despatch and sales in the trade-market. In addition, I have been able to develop my interpersonal and communication skills, enabling me to work in both a team setting and autonomously.
I have always loved exploring and learning about the Australian landscape. It is something I hold dear to my heart and I hope that as a landscape architect I can preserve it for both future generations and the diverse flora and fauna species that call Australia home.
On top of my core landscape architecture courses, I have taken a number of elective cours es to further my interests and understanding in climate change, living architecture and land scapes for health and wellbeing. As such, I have developed a particular passion and drive to address climate-positive design, sustainability and landscape design to combat declining biodiversity. In my professional practice I hope to continue working, contributing and making an impact in these fields.
I also recognise the importance and value of First Nations design-led thinking and the role landscape architecture can have in reconciliation and facilitating connection to Country. I look forward to furthering my skills in this field as I prepare to begin my student landscape architect position with Arcadia Landscape Architecture in Pyrmont in the new year.

LAND2313: LANDSCAPE STUDIO 7 DESIGN WITH A COMPLEX PROGRAM
LOCATION: MOORE PARK GOLF COURSE, SYDNEY
PROJECT VISION: A RESTORATIVE EXPERIENCE FOR HUMANS AND FROGS TO JUMP IN!
CONTEXT/DESIGN BRIEF: TO CREATE A ‘DRAWCARD’ PUBLIC OPEN SPACE WITH A COMPLEX PROGRAM FROM THE MOORE PARK GOLF COURSE. MY AIM WAS TO CREATE A LANDSCAPE FOR VULNERABLE FROGS OF THE INDIGENOUS EASTERN SUBURBS BANKSIA SCRUB BY CREATING APPROPRIATE HABITAT & IMPROVING WATER QUALITY; AND TO INTEGRATE SPECIES-SENSITIVE PROGRAM, FOSTER LEARNING & EXTEND SPECIES PRIORITY MANAGEMENT AREAS BACK INTO METROPOLITAN SYDNEY.

LOCATION: ANGUS, MARSDEN PARK NORTH, SYDNEY
VISION: ENRICH THE ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF THE RIPARIAN CORRIDOR TO PROMOTE AN INCLUSIVE, SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITY AND HEALTHY BUILT ENVIRONMENT. CONTEXT/DESIGN BRIEF: TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE LANDSCAPE - LED MASTERPLAN FOR ANGUS THAT RESPONDS TO LOCAL SITE CONDITIONS AND IDEAS OF SOCIAL EQUITY, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND SUSTAINABILITY.

In addition
this, the pathway acts as an educational journey, highlighting the importance of the riparian corridor and its inhabitats through educational signage, differing vegetation experiental qualities and observation.
The residential development within Angus will be capped, similar to the 2018 Proposed Masterplan for Marsden Park. The road network in Angus will allow for some expansion of residential housing, but with no further road development and minimal vegetation clearing for new housing.
This scenario also addresses or aligns with the goals of the Sydney Green Grid and the Western Sydney Parkland Proposals connection of green spaces. The expanded riparian corridor scenario provides an additional green space along one of Sydney’s key waterway systems, as well as addressing key urban issues such as liveability, urban heat mitigation, access to open spaces, enhancing ecological resilience etc.
In terms of how the scenario will perform in the future, it must be acknowledged that despite the projected increase in frequency and intensity of flooding in Angus, this scenario will be almost completely submerged. However, in small flooding scenario, the enhanced riparian corridor can mitigate and soak up some of this excess water through its permeable soils. It’s also likely that with more frequent extreme flooding,

LOCATION: COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
PROJECT VISION: COMMUNITY AND CYCLING AS A CATALYST TO GREEN THE CITY
CONTEXT/DESIGN BRIEF:
TO DESIGN A BRIDGE FOR PEOPLE THAT IS NOT LIMITED TO CIRCULATION, BUT RATHER IS A DESTINATION, A POWERFUL AND ENGAGING PUBLIC SPACE, THAT CELEBRATES ALL THINGS CYCLING. THE BRIDGE SHOULD BE A PLACE TO MEET, TO SOCIALISE, TO EAT, TO WATCH, TO GATHER. AT ITS HEART IT MUST EXPRESS CYCLING AS A CATALYST FOR SOCIAL CONNECTION, SHARED EXPERIENCES AND FOR THE RECLAMATION OF PUBLIC SPACES. IT MUST PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CYCLING TO BE CELEBRATED AS A SPORT, AS PERFORMANCE, AS EXERCISE, AS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY-SENSITIVE TRANSPORT MODE, AND AS SOMETHING THAT HAS THE CAPACITY TO BRING JOY TO MILLIONS.
