Description

Landscape for Learning. About the book:
The University of Western Australia campus is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, of university campuses in Australia. This book documents the history of the university grounds, and its design, management, and landscape evolution. A Landscape for Learning is a reminder of the very rich educational resource the grounds can offer – in botany, ecology, landscape design, and social history. The book also looks at the changes in landscape design over the decades and the driving forces behind them. Changing physical resources including fluctuations in water availability, the story of individuals involved in the development of the grounds, and the varying demands of a growing institution are covered.
