2013
MLA graduate Jennifer Parlane, was recently employed at Boffa Miskell’s
Auckland office as a Planner/Landscape Architect. Jennifer has a Bachelor in Planning from the University of Auckland but in 2012
decided to move into the discipline of landscape architecture to fulfil
her design ambitions.
Through
the masters degree Jennifer was able to explore contemporary issues
that are of concern to the landscape architecture practice,
particularly around the design of the public realm.
Through
the development of her design project about the provision of public
space in industrial areas in Auckland, Jennifer developed a range of
landscape architecture skills through the research-by-design process,
from carrying out extensive research and site analysis, developing an
appropriate landscape-based methodology and using specific
representational skills to interrogate her research matter and test
alternative designs. Jennifer did so with such skill to earn a post
graduate degree with distinction last November.
We wish Jennifer
all the best in her new position.
