MELBOURNE ARTS PRECINCT GARDENS

University of Sheffield landscape architecture professors Nigel Dunnett and James Hitchmough will work in collaboration with Hassell and New York-based architecture practice SO-IL to create seasonal, minimal water-use plantings for the planned upgrade to the Melbourne Arts Precinct in Southbank. Dunnett and Hitchmough previously lead a two-year trial and research for the United Kingdom’s largest man-made wildflower meadow ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
