Erica Green
Bachelor of Landscape Architecture
04 23 501 795ericagreen12@hotmail.comFor Erica, Landscape Architecture is about applying practical and creative thinking to develop ecologically sustainable and visually pleasing spaces for people to enjoy.
Erica is enthused by the opportunity to provide spaces that people will appreciate and ultimately create a lasting impression. She regards the most successful spaces as those that continue to add to society long after being built. Such designs embody a strong ‘sense of place’ and may hold special meaning or attachment to certain people, a concept both empowering and inspiring. Our designed spaces have a profound effect on society and our environment in an immediate, short and long term context. This is why Erica believes Landscape Architecture plays an important role in our built and natural environments.
As a graduate Landscape Architect, Erica is particularly interested to work in the field of urban design and landscape planning. She looks forward to increasing her understanding and skills to creating and designing high quality spaces.

Anthony HoskingBachelor of Landscape Architecture/Environmental Science.(02) 6258 0352ahosking@apex.net.auAnthony feels that environmental science is an increasingly important aspect of landscape design in today’s world. Undertaking the double degree in landscape architecture and environmental science has given him the opportunity to blend science and logical problem solving with artistic creativity. Design, he feels, is a challenge which should at all times incorporate as many functions as possible, while still being aesthetically pleasing.
Anthony’s design ethos is based on the use of soft materials wherever possible, placing major emphasis on environmental sustainability. This has led to a romantic bent to his design work, contrasting with recent industry trends to modern austerity. Anthony aims to draw inspiration from design history to create aesthetically impressive landscapes and loves the challenge of combining this with environmental sustainability. He doubts he will ever be varnishing donuts but is determined never to rule anything out.
Nicholas Jamonts 
Bachelor of Landscape Architecture
njam07@hotmail.com(02) 6258 1078(h), 0433 005 383(w)Nicholas’ artistic free-hand drawing skills tempted him to begin a career in Industrial Design but he was won over by the variety of the Landscape Architecture profession.
His studies have given Nicholas the ability to analyse and design landscapes in great detail. Creating functional and valuable environments for people is always at the forefront of his designs. He draws inspiration from formal gardens and uses symmetry, axis and direction in his designs but also emphasises the use of form, curves and other shapes of the natural landscape.
A keen single figure handicap golfer, Nicholas’ long-term working goal is to be a golf course architect and become a member of the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects. In the short term he hopes to work in a Canberra Landscape Architecture practice dealing with small and large scale works and to continue developing his design skills.

Michael RoyBachelor of Landscape Architecture/Environmental Science0418 597 495mick.roy@hotmail.comMichael has always sought the creative outlet of design as a career. He found Landscape Architecture appealed most as it covers not only aesthetics but also environmental and socio-economic issues. It is because of this that Michael is undertaking the double degree of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Science which, he finds, facilitates effective interdisciplinary design. His studies in environmental science provide a broader education and help Michael to create effective sustainable designs.
The future Michael sees as one involving continuous learning including broadening his education in social disciplines. In terms of design, he is currently intrigued by the intricacies of Oriental gardens but is enthusiastic about all areas as sources of inspiration and potential for making new designs.

Michaela TurnerMasters of Landscape Architecture0427 467 220michaelaturner@hotmail.comAs a child Michaela’s dream job was to become a radio cricket commentator. As a young adult a profession in aerial skiing appealed! Who would have thought the offspring of this would be Landscape Architecture.
Prior to studying Landscape Architecture, Michaela completed a degree in Communications. Several years of public relations and project management experience followed. Throughout, Michaela’s love of the outdoors and concern for the environment grew until in 2004, amongst some raised eyebrows, she decided to return to university to undertake a Masters in Landscape Architecture. Additionally, in 2005, Michaela completed a 12 month internship as a student Landscape Architect with the Wyong Shire Council.
For Michaela, one of the most exciting aspects of studying Landscape Architecture is the scope and diversity of the profession along with the realisation that she will never stop learning … the same, she says, cannot be said for writing press releases.
It is with great elation that I inform you that the National Capital Authority has been confirmed as the major sponsor for Exposed 06. All the exhibiting students are so gratefull for having such a prestigious sponsor for the exhibtion and we hope to repay this through the exhibition's publicity and exposure to the industry and public alike.
After weeks of discussion and prototyping, a final design for the Exposed 06 theme has been finalised. It was designed by fellow Landscape Architecture students Katie Earle and Suzanne Moulis. The beauty of the grevillia and suttleness of the colours and style of text combine to make the design one of simplicity and style.
Over the next couple of weeks, displayed on this blog will be the profiles of all the exhibiting students of Exposed 06. These profiles will contain introductory information of the student, his/her ambitions and some sample images of their work to date.
Welcome to the online interactive blogsite for Exposed 06; the 2006 University of Canberra Landscape Architecture Graduating Exhibition.On this site you will be able to access addtional information regarding the Exposed 06 exhibition, view student profiles and illustrated works, and interact with students and teachers via various online posts and discussions that you yourself are able to create.Since this is the first post of the blog and the official concept for the exhibition is still being finalised, additional information and images will soon be added.
