23.01.2022 Friends and colleagues, please take a moment to read the following: The immense, collective sadness experienced over recent weeks as images of Notre Dame engulfed in flame were shared across the world, served to draw into focus just how integral it is to human nature to form deep attachments to the things for us which are awesome. Concurrently in our local news last week, indisputable parallels have been drawn between 850 year-old Notre Dame and hundreds of River Red Gums, eq...Continue reading
19.01.2022 THANK YOU on behalf of Urban Initiatives + the Bulleen River Red Gum for your votes and for assisting us by extending this campaign beyond our networks. We received confirmation on Monday from the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) that our nominated tree has emerged victorious and that they will be contacting the North East Link Authority to discuss options for its retention. The fact that together we have been able to do this, we see as a real beacon of hope which reaches beyond this particular issue.

15.01.2022 We are calling upon all our colleagues, clients and friends to stand with us by, in the first instance, voting for the Bulleen River Red Gum. The more votes we can muster for this tree, the more we hope to raise awareness of the broader concerns - namely that this is not an isolated issue, that these trees are sacred, that they are irreplaceable and that the know-how exists to do so much better. There is no dispute regarding the need for upgrades and improved infrastructure. ...The need for development is not what is in question. What we need to be convinced of is that everything in our power is being done to ensure that in the planning and design of these projects, our landscapes are being prioritised proportionally to their huge significance and irreplaceable value. We know that the expertise and ability to work creatively within constraints and find solutions which minimise impact upon the things which are important to all of us exists to do this. It is what we do. See more

09.01.2022 The Rainforest Entry Experience and Lemurs Exhibit at the Melbourne Zoo was a collaboration between Snowdon Architects and interpretation specialists, Arterial Design. The exhibit is an engaged ‘walk through’ experience where ring tailed lemurs and visitors share the same space. The exhibit allows a direct encounter with the lemurs and their environment, an experience often impossible in more traditional enclosures where animals are isolated from the visitor. The visitor is immersed in a landscape where planting and materials reference the unusual spiny forests and denser lush rainforests of Madagascar, the lemur’s natural habitat.
