This project is an individual submission that showcases close observation and the ability to document various aspects of landscape architecture, such as sites, environments, designs, constructed settings, and detailed elements and features. These components are integral to the practice, profession, and discipline of landscape architecture.

The concept of 'place' has been defined in various ways, but generally refers to a strong emotional attachment that an individual has to a particular setting, as distinct from a mere physical space[1]. Zevi's method explains the role of movement, where the body creates the fourth dimension by realizing space from successive points of view, thereby experiencing the essence of spatiality and place, whether it is a building, district, or town[2].

University of New South Wales (UNSW)  is composed of various elements such as buildings, furniture, and decor that reflect the cultural, social, and experiential backgrounds of its occupants. These elements, in conjunction with the movement of people throughout the space, generate a sense of place that is unique to UNSW.

This project seeks to identify the physical elements of UNSW that contribute to this sense of place, including vegetation, lighting, colours, textures, rhythms, and spatial arrangements. Through visual communication, the various senses that these elements evoke - such as peace, concentration, communication, and movement - can be more fully understood and appreciated.
