Sebastian Cocks

I am a Landscape Architect at LatStudios; living, working & researching on the unceded land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung Peoples. I’m passionate about urban ecological conservation and promoting biodiversity within our cities. In particular, I’m concerned with the health of Victoria’s native grasslands and currently volunteer as a Young Steward of the Iramoo Grassland Reserve in St Albans. I graduated with a Bachelor of Environments (Architecture Major) from the University of Melbourne in 2018, and with a Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) with Distinction from RMIT University in 2023. Patchwork Plains - my final design research project for the MLA - was awarded the RMIT Landscape Architecture Design Research Prize for 2022, was nominated for the 2023 Hassell Travelling Scholarship and was awarded one of Landscape Architecture Australia’s 2022 National Landscape Architecture Student Prizes. Patchwork Plains was also selected by RMIT as the university’s entry into the Manuel Ribas International School Prize at the Barcelona Landscape International Biennial.
