I'm Linda Corkery, an Associate Professor in landscape architecture. I lead
interdisciplinary Faculty electives, including one on living architecture that deals
with the design of green roofs and green walls, as well as teaching in the Landscape
Architecture Program. Interdisciplinary electives bring students together from all
the disciplines in our Faculty to learn issues and topics of mutual interest. I love
landscape architecture because we work with nature to create beautiful, healthy
places that benefit people's quality of life.

I'm Miles Park, a Senior Lecturer in industrial design. I studied and practised
industrial design in Sydney and have a PhD from Kingston University in London.
What excites me is the creative, empowering, and transformative processes that
industrial design practices bring to a diverse range of projects. At UNSW Australia, I
work with final year students on their graduation design studio to prepare them for
professional practice. I also contribute to manufacturing technology and design
theory related courses.

I'm Bruce Watson, Director of the Interior Architecture Program and a Senior
Lecturer. Trained in architecture and fine arts, I've practised as an artist, architect,
and interior architect. Interior architecture is a design discipline focusing on
interior environments and the structure, spatial ideas, and materials that unite in
making a place to ultimately provide end users with the best outcome.
