The Urban Landscape Design Cake Competition

As part of this year's Melbourne Design Week, a selection of Melbourne-based landscape architecture studios have been invited to select a site currently under development in the Melbourne CBD and redesign it as parkland through the edible medium of cake.

Join us for an exhibition of cakes, a live judging of the proposals by a panel of built environment experts including Ana Abram (McGregor Coxall – Biourbanism Lab), Azin Emampour (AILA VIC Committee and Spiire) and Katrina Simon (RMIT University).

The event will include a panel discussion around designing for biodiversity and non-human ecologies in the Melbourne CBD featuring panelists Jocelyn Chiew (City of Melbourne), Claire Farrell (University of Melbourne), Ana Abram (McGregor Coxall – Biourbanism Lab) and Alistair Kirkpatrick (Stratis Landscape Architects, Melbourne Polytechnic) and moderator Felipe Coral (Hassell). The event aims to foster discussion around climate change, the biodiversity crisis and built environment practice.
