The RMIT Landscape Architecture exhibition is an end-of-semester showcase of work from across all the programs in the discipline. It aims to bring together the rich and diverse work being done students, proudly exhibiting it as a body of work representing the ambitions of the landscape discipline at RMIT.

It offers an opportunity to make visible the depth and specificity of landscape architectural knowledge developed in individual courses and studios, and to celebrate and reflect on the generative relationships and tensions between them as a coherent whole. The exhibition acts as a site for capturing and sharing the landscape knowledge we produce as a teaching and learning community, actively nurturing and contributing to the lineages, practices and discourses our work exists within and builds upon with each new semester.
