Kerb 27: Selective Perceptions reviewed in Landscape Australia
Landscape Australia has reviewed Kerb 27: Selective Perceptions, locating the journal within the context of 2019 – a year of protesting against the impacts of consolidated power and wealth – as well as the literature on social agency of landscape architects, and the profession itself.

It is the culmination of decades of experimentation in Australian landscape gardening and an emphatic expression of the loose, almost painterly approach to landscape design that Eckersley is renowned for.

God in Reverse is a finalist in AGDA Awards and featured in Art Alamanac
We are very happy to announce that God in Reverse, designed by Sean Hogan of Trampoline Design, is a finalist in the Australian Graphic Design Associations' 2019 awards. View the whole entry. Australian art journal, Art Almanac has reviewed artist/architect Richard Goodwin's God in Reverse: Art, Architecture and Consciousness, admiring the book's ambition in combining imagination and research to create an “unorthodox monograph”. “Richard Goodwin’s preoccupation with the delineations between art, architecture and urbanism means that, to our delight, he does not walk the line.” “With innovative ideas and the, at times dizzying, asymmetry of its presentation, one cannot...
