An exciting new chapter

April 14, 2024 Amalie Wright

Small Creek: first site visit October 2016.

Hello, it’s Amalie here.

When I started Landscapology in 2012 I had no idea what professional opportunities (and challenges!) might unfold. Twelve years has flown by, during which time I’ve been fortunate to work with many talented, committed, creative, resourceful and inspiring people in Brisbane, Melbourne, Makassar and Suva.

Along the way we’ve collected some awards, but more importantly, we’ve been trusted by generous clients and collaborators to work together on stimulating projects.

It’s now time for the next step. As of March 1st, I’m no longer practicing as Landscapology. I’m very excited to have joined REALMstudios as Principal - Landscape Architecture in the Brisbane studio. We share values and professional experience in collaboratively-created, regenerative urban waterways, and I’m looking forward to working with, and learning from such an exceptional group of people.

Bringing the Blue, Green and Grey Together

August 31, 2023 Amalie Wright

In early August, Amalie was one of four speakers - alongside Katie Fletcher, Sally Boer and Madonna Thompson - to set the scene prior to workshopping and discussion at the inaugural event Bringing the Blue, Green and Grey together. Delivered in partnership by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, Stormwater Queensland and Engineers Australia, some 140 participants gathered to identify barriers to collaboration in Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). A White Paper will be released shortly.

I was commissioned by Foreground to reflect on the planning and urban design responses to the 2011 floods which affected nearly 80 percent of the state of Queensland, claiming the lives of 33 people, and damaging or destroying 29,000 homes and businesses at a cost of more than $5 billion.

A "new harmony with nature"

September 11, 2020 Amalie Wright

Extract from the article by Jeff Sparrow, published Friday 11 September 2020.

We were excited to see Small Creek included in a story about rewilding and naturalisation projects in Australia, published today in The Guardian.

The article quotes our client, Ben Walker, who during his tenure at Ipswich City Council was a true project partner with Landscapology and Bligh Tanner, and a staunch champion of the process and upfront community engagement.

It was an honour to be included alongside a bunch of such wonderful projects.

Recently Alan Hoban from Bligh Tanner, and Amalie, spent time chatting about Small Creek with editor and journalist Maitiú Ward, for an article for Foreground.
