The Rose

This paper describes the author’s approach to the development of a Learn-by-Making unit for students of architecture. The design, construction and installation of two parkland seating structures located in the Nedlands Rose War Memorial Park, in an inner suburb or Perth, Western Australia is the primary case study provided as a successful example of Learn-by-Making in practice. Commissioned by The City of Nedlands, the project was undertaken by 4th and 5th year Master of Architecture students enrolled at the School of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts (ALVA) at the University of Western Australia (UWA) and supervised of the author, acting as both Project Architect and Unit Coordinator.
