Success



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.
