Landscape Technical

Adelaide LT 20150317 8 1

Street Furniture Australia was pleased to be involved in AILA’s new Landscape Technical CPD sessions. Landscape Technical provides a forum for presentation and exhibition of industry information in an educational and inspiring format. The sessions offer landscape architects the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and research from Australia’s leading suppliers in one jam-packed session.

During February and March, Landscape Technical sessions were hosted at each state by individual State AILA Chapters. On Thursday, 19 March, the NSW event held two presentations: ‘Designing and Selecting Outdoor Exercise Solutions for People of All Ages’ by Harri Makela, Managing Director of Lappset Australia, and ‘Designing to Manufacture’ by Michelle Herbut, SFA Project Manager (Custom Product Sales). Michelle Herbut discussed the key steps in creating one’s own street furniture products ready for manufacture. The workshop covered all aspects of designing street furniture, including cost, risk minimisation, assembly, transport and maintenance.

Successful products are often followed by copycats. Over the past year we have become aware of an increase in reproductions of the Linea range attempting to create a similar aesthetic at a lower price. This can compromise the overall durability and environmental credentials of projects being delivered, affect ongoing maintenance requirements, and in some instances pose a risk of injury to the public. The design of Linea is deceptively simple while delivering exceptional attention to detail. Details matter not only for beauty, but also for providing durability, and safety, that will last decades. Linea strictly uses the highest quality and sustainable materials, has passed rigorous strength tests, and is designed for longevity, with easily replaceable parts. The product range is the result of hundreds of hours of research and development …

The inaugural event, held at the State Library of Queensland, Brisbane, involved a program of participatory experiences and conversations designed to inspire and engage by re-imagining the way we meet and celebrate the profession, share our stories and learn through discourse and debate.
