Kerb is an annual cross-disciplinary design journal published via the Department of Landscape Architecture at the RMIT University School of Architecture and Urban Design in Melbourne, Australia.
We are immersed in power, seen and unseen, explicit and implicit, felt and feared. It is tightly held, seldom deserved and often misplaced. Landscape architects play a vital role in expressing human and non-human centred stories in our environment. In doing so, they address, navigate, and ultimately influence the power dynamics intrinsic to our living world – for better or worse.
About Kerb #31 from the publisher:
Kerb #31 explores the role of limits in navigating design complexity. Increasingly knotty social and environmental challenges, and more sophisticated and powerful digital tools, are putting pressure on traditional landscape architecture practice. In the face of these challenges, this edition of Kerb celebrates the counterintuitive potential of embracing landscape architecture’s limitations to both understand and expand its potential. Contributors include renowned landscape architect Teresa Moller, who discusses her experience with limits in her career, and Mike Hewson, who delves into how the limits of construction standards affected his design of Melbourne’s ‘risky’ new playground, ‘Rocks on Wheels’.
