Karl Langer winner Clare Mayberry to present “Returning Country”
As the 2021 Karl Langer winner and University Medallist, Clare’s Landscape Architecture Honours project ‘Returning Country’ focussed on the repatriation of Australian First Nations Ancestral remains, and considered a design proposition for the National Resting Place in Kamberri, Canberra, Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country.
The work culminated in her integral involvement in re-imagining the Kamberri/ Canberra landscape, including recent input into the National Gallery of Australia design competition (McGregor Coxall) and the winning design concept for Ngurra: The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Precinct and the National Resting Place (Hassell, Djinjama, COLA, and Edition Office).
Event Information
The Karl Langer Award is presented each year to the student completing the landscape architecture degree at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) who shows “marked potential for the profession of Landscape Architecture”. The award winner is chosen by an AILA Queensland panel with nominations from the QUT landscape architecture staff. The award has been an annual conferral since the late 1970’s, acknowledging both the future and collective legacy of landscape architects within Queensland.
Join us for an evening with our 2021-23 Karl Langer Award winners Clare Mayberry (2021), Marina Couchman (2022) and Maria Cacciola (2023) and host, Glen Power, AILA QLD President and Chair of the 2022 Karl Langer Panel. Each awardee will present their final capstone year project that contributed to their award win.
This will be followed by a panel discussion facilitated by Taneile Nixon by 2016 Karl Langer Award winner, exploring the movement of their design philosophies, how this informed their progression from studies into the industry, and reflections on the evenings thematic of ‘Circular Legacies’ – how the project widened both their personal and professional approaches to practice.
