Designer
Sebastian is a Designer at LatStudios & Landscape Architectural Research Assistant at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University. Seb is passionate about the spatial curation of ‘natural’ landscape elements - soils, rocks, water, plants, and animals. He believes landscape architecture plays a crucial role in creating urban spaces that allow for human interaction with the Earth’s various natural systems, whilst also giving ecologies room to adapt and thrive within cities. He is currently studying the Master of Landscape Architecture at RMIT, due to graduate at the end of 2023.
Patchwork Plains – Seb’s final design research project for the MLA - was awarded the RMIT Landscape Architecture Design Research Prize for 2022, has been nominated for the 2023 Hassell Travelling Scholarship and was awarded one of Landscape Architecture Australia’s 2022 National Landscape Architecture Student Prizes. Patchwork Plains was also entered by RMIT in the Manuel Ribas International School Prize at the Barcelona Landscape International Biennial.
In his time at LatStudios he has worked on various Council strategies relating to open space curation and pedestrian & cyclist connectivity, as well as planting and landscape designs for a variety of public and private spaces.
