About
Yazid Ninsalam's work is underpinned by an interdisciplinary approach in unpacking the impacts of landscape transformation driven by competing pressures of urban development and climate variability.
Yazid is a landscape architecture academic at RMIT. He is also Research Lead and Associate Director at McGregor Coxall. He previously worked as a landscape architect for the National Parks Board and served as Council Member in the Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects. He was conferred a doctoral degree in architecture by the National University of Singapore and was a researcher at the Future Cities Laboratory, established by ETH Zurich and Singapore National Research Foundation.
His work has been disseminated across exhibitions in various locations including Melbourne, Singapore, Jakarta, Zurich, and notably in Rotterdam and Munich - at the Urban by Nature, Sixth International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam and Draussen | Out There Landscape Architecture on Global Terrain, Architekturmuseum der TU München, Pinakothek der Moderne respectively.
His recent published works appear in the Routledge Book of Teaching Landscape Architecture, Journal of Landscape Architecture, Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture, International Journal of Architectural Computing, Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia, Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Journal of Sustainable Cities and Society, KERB Journal of Landscape Architecture, and Archives of the International Society of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Sciences.
CITYX VENICE - Ata Tara & Yazid Ninsalam: Oceanic Cities:
As part of a multidisciplinary team, landscape architects from RMIT University are working on a large-scale project funded by the UNFCCC Adaptation Fund and administered by UN-Habitat. Through a range of co-designed initiatives, the project team aims to bring into focus the challenges of climate change on Honiara, the fast-growing capital city of the Solomon Islands.
They are currently providing scientific support and capacity building for actions to be implemented. The designs are driven by a participatory approach which involves local people in the prioritisation of community needs and the co-design of climate adaptation actions.
Awards:
2020 AILA National Landscape Architecture Award for Small Projects
2020 AILA Victoria Award of Excellence for Small Projects
