  4. Do you have to be an AILA registered landscape architect to enter the competition? Can you be a working professional LA and enter?

  5. Is the competition open to an international submission registered locally, but out from Australia.

  6. Hello. Thanks for your queries.

    International entries - if you are registered locally (or a paid up member) with your peak LA body that is recognised by IFLA, you are welcome to enter. Prize moneys would be in $AUD, and there may be some taxation on this (always new taxes in Australia!). Good luck!

    Non-RLA entries - Currently the requirements of the competition are that there is to be a Registered Landscape Architect on the team. This may change, but as of right now, the intention is that the Competition, being run by the Institute, is to promote recognition and membership of the same. Stay tuned, but better still, join a team with an RLA. You know want to!

  7. Hi,

    For the walk on Friday, where exactly we should meet, outside the train station? And who we should look for? Thanks

  8. Good question! You will be meeting me. I'm the guy on the left (viewers left) on the you tube video (link in this website), at the start.

    I will wait at the bottom of the ramp at the station on the bus loop side. I will have a roll of drawings as my key identifier.

  9. You don't need to be registered to start a landscape practice or call yourself a Landscape Architect, so why do you need to be to enter?

    Excerpt for aila website:

    5b. Can a person with a degree in Landscape Architecture and not a registered member call themselves a 'Landscape Architect' with any justification ?

    There is no clear answer to this as the legislation across Australia States and Territories is generally still not clear or consistent on whether someone with a landscape architecture degree can call themselves a Landscape Architect. Sadly until there is a Commonwealth - State Government agreement, it remains a grey area. The AILA's only advice to clients is 'buyer beware'. The best advice is to play it safe: consider a registered landscape architect.

  11. Regarding being an RLA or equivalent to enter - The competition is being run by AILA and (amongst providing Lilydale with opportunities it wouldnt ordinarily get) it aims to target and showcase the work of its members and attract new members. One of the benefits of being an AILA member is being eligible for things like this.

    We have had interest in people teaming up with RLAs, and so i was thinking we could try to run a landscape architectural Introduction Service.

    So....if you are an RLA and would like to team up with some energetic collaborators, why not post here.

    And if you arent an RLA and are looking for one to team up with, post here also.

    I would suggest not providing personal information such as names and phone numbers, but providing an email address you would like people to Contact.

    Sascha - hi there - i cannot provide a list of registrants, as that would not be in the spirit of things, however you have posted your details, and thus our Introduction Service is born.

  12. Hi there,

    We’ve downloaded the material, including the cad surveyors plan. We’ve noticed though that there is no labeling for the level contours, which we need to know. Also the limits of walkways, the actual highway limits and parking areas are not drawn on the plan. Would it be possible to get those informations?

    Thanks.

  13. Hi,Do we need to register our interest/numbers for Fridays site walk, o9r just turn up at the time?
    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  14. No anyone is welcome whether registered or not. See you there!

  15. Hi all we are working on the Contour numbers. Hopefully we will get it soon.

    As for parking areas, there is no survey of carparks. As per the brief there is a big over supply.

    The highway limits for the purposes of the study is shopfront to shopfront

  16. At what stage will the jury be announced?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hi there - The jury will be announced in a couple of weeks.

  18. Suggesting that people with good ideas need to hook up with RLA's (who presumably don't have many ideas of their own) doesn't help the perception of the Institute and won't help this competition attract good submissions. Open it up to all!

  19. Please keep it nice or I will just delete your posts. If you have further problems with the rules of the competition, please take it off the Q and A section, and email me at street11@outlinesla.com.au. I am happy to discuss this over the phone if we can keep it civil.

    Collaboration is a key part of how real projects run – ensuring that multiple viewpoints and stakeholders are considered. No one profession or individual has all the answers. We promote this kind of collaboration between professionals, artists and the community.

    The competition has been convened and initiated by AILA, an industry body funded by voluntary memberships, with nearly all project undertaken by members on a voluntary basis. No AILA, no competition.
