PORTFOLIO Sumaiya Rahman
Landscape Architecture 2023
Acknowledgment I would like to acknowledge that this document was created on the land of the Gadigal and Bidjigal peoples who traditionally occupied the Sydney coast. In the spirit of respect and gratitude, I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which my landscape designs take root. I pay our respects to the Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community. As a landscape architect, I strive to work harmoniously with the environment, drawing inspiration from the wisdom embedded in the cultural and ecological heritage of this land.
Sumaiya Rahman As a landscape architect student, it is my duty of care to advocate for the environment, promote for sustainable design practices, and protect vulnerable and endangered ecological communities. Experience

DESIGN STUDIOS Design studios within the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree is an integral aspect of the course. Within studio classes I am challenged with real sites to test, analyse and formulate design solutions which holistically take into account people, ecologies, place and the landscape.

Along the Water Transforming Campsie into a vibrant oasis, Along the Water revitalises the Cooks River and surrounding streets, breathing new life into the community. This innovative design introduces water to Campsie’s streetscape, reducing Urban Heat Index by absorbing, evaporating, and transporting heat, resulting in lower air temperatures and decreased energy consumption. The project extends community green spaces, weaving water streams along pathways, bringing movement and vitality to Campsie’s streets. Native Eucalypts line the streams, creating a cooling canopy, and capturing grey water enhances sustainability. Day-lit into streets, this water journey filters stormwater, contributing to a beautiful, cool parkland, forming a blissful oasis along the path to the Cooks River.

The Nest The Nest is an ecological haven for people and ecological communities to call Angus their own home and nest. The Nest is an adaptive landscape which works with floodlines and riparian zones to integrate with residents lifestyle. The Nest is a proposed nature reserve and medium density housing suburb which works with current and historical landscapes to rehabilitate, restore and recognise.

Proposed Green Corridor Strategy
Green and Blue Infrastructure Strategy The Nest Masterplan integrates green and blue infrastructure systems, crucial for Angus’s landscape centered around South and Eastern Creek. The proposed strategies emphasize Angus’s landscape importance, underscoring the necessity for adaptive and sustainable design. These strategies build on historical ecological communities to reduce area’s urban heat index.

HAND DRAWING
Hand drawing has been integral to my journey as a landscape architecture student, offering a tactile connection to the design process. It provides a quick and creative exploration of concepts, fostering spontaneity and problem-solving. Beyond precision, it enhances spatial understanding. Hand-drawn visuals, with their warmth and authenticity, effectively communicate design intent to my lecturers and collaborators. This skill, balancing technology with manual artistry, has become a cornerstone, shaping a holistic and intuitive approach to my landscape architecture practice.

Wareamah Studio Project To repair and weave Wareamah to its origins. However, to also acknowledge the displacement of the island and settlement histories that have taken place. Therefore, interlocking and unpeeling the beauty of two stories.

Site history and texture analysis
East to West section with focus on landform Rusted steel arches provide shape
within the sky plane and connects with site’s industrial history. It also provides the native vegetaion with something to climb on to give the appearance
Steps up to the top of some undulations enables visitors to be placed within the landscape.
North to South section A fire pit is placed in the middle of site to create a space to feel secure along with company. The centred fire pitt reflects the Aboriginal women who used to gather on the island from different locations.
East to West section Sandstone path connects to the material used during the convict era of the island. The path weaves in and out through the steel thresholds.
The slipway crane will be engulfed by vegetation taking over the structure.
Playful use of undulating landfom creates interest on the ground plane connects human to the earth which is lifting from the ground
The tiered sandstone seating placed at the end of the site design amoungst Wareamah natives to provide a look out space onto the slipway and surrounding suburbs.

DESIGN DOCUMENTATION
In my landscape architecture studies, understanding the significance of meticulous design documentation details is paramount. These details serve as the backbone of our projects, ensuring clarity and precision in implementation. As a student, honing this skill not only cultivates a sense of professionalism but also prepares me for the real-world demands of conveying intricate design elements. Accurate documentation not only communicates ideas effectively but also lays the groundwork for seamless execution, a crucial aspect in transforming concepts into tangible, sustainable landscapes.
