Transcript of TCL Booklet
Whowe are
TCL is one of the world’s most highly acclaimed landscape architecture and urban design firms. Over the past 25 years, we have delivered a wide range of projects across a variety of public and private settings, from urban waterfronts to desert walking trails. We work both nationally and internationally, undertaking a detailed exploration of context, site and community, with a focus on the poetic expression of landscape and contemporary culture.
Four streams of investigation have informed TCL’s work:
• contemporary urban life and global culture
• the elemental power of site and landscape
• artistic practice in a range of disciplines
• the creation of a sustainable future
Through a dynamic and collaborative dialogue with clients, communities, academics, and colleagues, we have delivered an eclectic body of work that speaks of quality, commitment, beauty and richness. This is achieved within real world constraints of time, management and cost.
TCL is Australia’s most awarded landscape architecture firm, having won over 120 awards in the past 25 years.
TCL have twice been awarded the prestigious ‘Landscape of the Year’ award at the World Architecture Festival for the National Arboretum Canberra (in collaboration with TZG Architects in 2014 and the Australian Garden in collaboration with Paul Thompson) in 2013.
In 2014, TCL was awarded the highly coveted 8th Rosa Barba Award at the International Biennale of Landscape Architecture Barcelona for Auckland Waterfront, New Zealand in collaboration with WA Landscape Architects.
We bring to each project the following:
Robust and Meaningful VisionsTCL is renowned for developing masterplans and conceptual designs that respond to their context and provide compelling visions for the future. Designs that are embraced and owned by all stakeholders.
A Collaborative ApproachWe are highly recognised for our love of collaborating with clients, stakeholders, communities, academics, artists, and other consultants. We value and respect difference and diversity.
An Ecological BaseWe have worked creatively with environmentally sustainable principles since the company’s inception. We embrace sustainable practices in all of our projects to minimise the ecological footprint and maximise integrated environmental systems such as water sensitive urban design (WSUD).
Sustainable Communities and EconomiesTCL has always maintained a strong community development focus with stakeholder consultation being an important part of the practice’s approach to projects. We also recognise and have a keen awareness of the importance of creating sustainable economic outcomes for our clients.
ResearchOur practice is committed to undertaking ongoing research and has a dedicated research arm known as Tickle. Tickle speculates on the future of the expanding field of landscape architecture and urban design, and challenges existing paradigms. In addition Directors Kate Cullity and Perry Lethlean have recently completed PhD studies which explored undercurrent themes of TCL’s design practice.
What we create
Cultural InterpretationUrban DesignMasterplansWaterfrontsInfrastructureParks and GardensNational Parks Environmental PlanningPlayResidentialEducationArt & Festivals
Cultural InterpretationMany projects have been for significant cultural institutions such as museums, botanic
gardens, zoos, arboretums and sanctuaries. These projects call for an in-depth analysis
and interpretation of the stories the institution wishes to disseminate. They challenge
us to compose and design a compelling, intrinsic and coherent narrative and material
presence that speaks of an environmental and cultural history, as well as contemporary
life. Our cultural projects are immersive and intrinsically interpretive rather than sign
based and didactic.
Urban DesignTCL understand that urban design is a field that involves the integration of many allied
disciplines in a collaborative manner. To this end we have led project teams in the
design and revitalisation of many urban settings, waterfronts, streetscapes, public
spaces and retail environments with an emphasis in projects of cultural significance.
This work has included masterplanning through to the resolution of built work.
Masterplans TCL have delivered public realm masterplans and framework plans for many complex
urban projects and institutions. Each are characterised by a deep understanding of the
individual culture and character of the site, as well as a compelling and poetic design
led vision for their future.
WaterfrontsTCL are renowned for our experience in designing successful and engaging waterfronts
that reinvigorate the sites and provide a renewed connection between the city, the
precinct and water. In particular, we have transformed Geelong Waterfront and Auckland
Waterfront to become vital public and community focussed destinations. This work
taps into the rich heritage of the sites through composition, selection of materials, site
specific artworks and infrastructure, the retention of valued and authentic elements
and programming.
InfrastructureTCL have led the design and implementation of a number of freeway statement projects,
where functional infrastructure such as sound walls and bridges, as well as stand-alone
large scale artworks become sculptural iconic elements in the landscape. A number of
TCL staff are trained in architecture and this has allowed us to design site and project
specific infrastructure elements such as shelters, tram stops and
freeway noise attenuation walls.
Parks and GardensTCL love the time honoured art of garden making. The composition, patterning, sensory,
aesthetic and immersive experience of our gardens and parks employ an understanding
of cultural and environmental history, garden design principles, interpretation design
and horticultural practice.
National Parks TCL have worked extensively in Australian National Parks particularly in South Australia
where we have instigated a ‘whole of park approach’. This approach sets a framework
for all visitor facilities within the parks and is predicated on minimal intervention, careful
editing and a fundamental respect for the elemental landscape. This approach is also
evident at the Uluru Kata Tjuta Aboriginal Centre where consultation with the local
aboriginal owners was a seminal aspect of the project.
Environmental PlanningWe are known for our sensitivity when working on projects of environmental significance
to achieve a holistic and sustainable framework, outcome and future. In some instances
we edit what exists to amplify the elemental experience, while at other times we create
immersive environments that elucidate environmental messages and meanings.
PlayTCL delight in creating imaginative and thematic play spaces as well as immersive,
non-didactic interpretive learning environments.
ResidentialTCL believe that the overarching goal for the design of residential landscapes is to
create home gardens that encourage rejuvenation, relaxation, and enrich daily life. We
love forming a strong relationship with our clients, often collaborate with architects and
where appropriate incorporate contemporary art into the garden. We are recognised
for our expressive planting palettes and strong horticultural knowledge, and for our
ability to draw on the rich legacy of garden design history to create contemporary and
ecologically sensitive gardens.
EducationTCL create external environments that are not only beautiful and artfully designed, but
also places of learning which are ‘fertile ground’ for the exchange of ideas, socialisation,
imagination, reflection and reverie; a setting for the cultivation of the mind and body. Our
education projects challenge off-campus learning by creating a strong campus identity.
Our experience and research in education give us an appreciation of new pedagogies
and technologies that facilitate progressive ways students can engage with external
spaces.
Art & Festivals
TCL have created both permanent and temporary sculptural installations within Australia
and overseas. This includes works for a number of Australian and International art and
garden festivals, as well as a significant installation for the Australian Pavilion at the 2011
World Expo in Shanghai. Each installation has explored and abstracted particular and
compelling qualities of the Australian Landscape.
Cultural Interpretation
Opposite above: Uluru-Kata Tjuta
Aboriginal Cultural Centre, NT. The
bus and car park are deliberately held
back 300 metres from the building
encouraging visitors to walk through
the desert landscape. Paths are
constructed from cement stabilised site
sand and edged with dried branches
collected from within the park.
Above: Australian Garden
Cranbourne, VIC. A contemporary
botanic garden which celebrates the
wonder and idiosyncratic qualities of
the Australian landscape.
Parallel bands of Melaleucas arranged
alongside abstracted sand spits,
provide a threshold into the Coastal
Edge Garden.
Opposite below: National Arboretum
Canberra, ACT. The design is based
on the theme of 100 Forests. Each
of the 100 forests is individually
arranged differently with their
particular configuration responding to
horticultural requirements and cultural
themes.
Following page: Australian Garden
Cranbourne, VIC. Australia is often
described as a country either in drought
or flood. Water, or its absence, is the
principle organising structure within the
garden.
Below: National Arboretum Canberra,
ACT. One hundred forests of rare and
endangered tree species are arranged
in orthogonal patterns across an
undulating topography. The sculptured
landforms of the ‘Central Clearing’ form
part of the visitor arrival sequence.
Opposite below: Forest Gallery,
Melbourne Museum, VIC. The
Forest Gallery interprets the tall
Mountain Ash forests of Central
Victoria by incorporating a hyperreal
living ecosystem into the heart of the
institution. The Forest is intended
to challenge preconceived ideas of
the role and image of a traditional
museum.
Opposite above: Wild Sea, Melbourne
Zoo, VIC. Wild Sea Exhibit creates
an immersive and interpretive
environment. ‘The Deep’ is 4 metres
under the ground allowing a magical
view of gliding seals.
Above: Lonsdale Street Dandenong,
VIC. A linear garden along the length
of the road, with double rows of Pin
Oaks, provides seating opportunities.
Opposite below: North Terrace,
Adelaide, SA. During the Adelaide
International Festival of Art 2012,
images were projected onto each
of the historic buildings along North
Terrace. The civic space of the street
allowed for a very large audience to
watch the ‘Northern Lights’ installation.
Opposite above: Manly Corso,
NSW. The Corso is an iconic place
in Sydney’s consciousness, with
thousands of visitors traversing its
length between the Sydney Harbour
ferry terminal and the Pacific Ocean
at Manly Beach. The design creates
an open and spacious public place,
overlaid with visually strong design
elements, including playful
seating discs.
Urban Design
Following Page: Adelaide Airport, SA.
The design of the plaza takes its cues
from the patterns of the wider South
Australian landscape as viewed from the
air. This central plaza is located between
the new entry and new car park and
the terminal.
Above: Bank Street Parklets, SA.
Bank Street is rejuvenated as a
shared and pedestrian prioritised
street integrating parklets into the
streetscape, with artist Sam Songailo’s
road graphic. The upgrade provides
greater economic opportunity for
street traders and enhanced social
sustainability enabling the community
space to engage in a lively
city laneway.
Opposite above: North Terrace,
Adelaide, SA. A view along North
Terrace shows the generous inner and
outer paths and the repetitive rhythm
of seating, paving, ornamental planting
grass and forecourts.
Opposite below: Lonsdale Street
Dandenong, VIC. This 500 metre long
boulevard establishes a pedestrian
and cyclist priority environment and
a vibrant shopping centrepiece for
Dandenong via the extension of
patterned paving and creation of the
garden rooms.
Masterplanning
Above: Victoria Square /
Tarntanyangga, SA. A re-envisioned
urban park in the centre of the city to
reassert Victoria Square as the heart of
Adelaide. The northern end contains
an event space and ephemeral
water feature while the southern
end houses a centre for Aboriginal
culture – ‘Mullabakka’, a large garden
of Southern Australian plants, a
productive garden and biofiltration
garden. Twin arbors link both sides of
the square and contain various small
buildings and elements within
their canopies.
Opposite below: The North
Terrace Precincts Redevelopment
Masterplan, SA. The Six Guiding
Principles. The North Terrace
Redeveloped Masterplan provided
a vision for the entire 1 km length of
North Terrace, including forecourts to
the adjacent cultural institutions and
Universities.
Opposite above: Point Nepean
Masterplan, VIC. The masterplan
evaluated the landscape and its
heritage to determine the optimum
use for the quarantine station and its
many heritage buildings. Interpretation,
wayfinding and circulation were also
defined to form an integrated plan to
guide the park’s future.
1. Reinforce the Treshold 2. Convert the Terrace Walk
3. Define the City Edge 4. Foster the City - River Connection
5. Animate the Cultural Heart
Guiding Principles – Key Moves
6. Promote Terrace Vitality
The North Terrace Redevelopment,
SA. Having all the cultural institutions
along one terrace is unique. The
redevelopment of North Terrace allows
each institution to be heralded while
providing cohesion along the
whole length.
Above: Auckland Waterfront, New
Zealand. Overlapping activities and
programs are orientated to the north,
via the armature of a gantry – an
evocative response to the industrial
language of the site. The gantry is
a 100 metre long by 9 metre high
structure designed to be part folly, play
structure, lookout, arbour and event
framework.
Waterfronts
Opposite: Auckland Waterfront,
New Zealand. Jellicoe Harbour
(situated adjacent to the North Wharf
Promenade) is used for a diverse
array of maritime activities, including
container shipping, ferry services and
commercial fishing.
Following page left: Geelong
Waterfront, VIC. The project explored a
variety of ways the city can interact with
the waterfront, including the cantilevered
boat deck extending into Corio Bay.
Following page right: Auckland
Waterfront - Silo Park, New Zealand.
The park now plays host to a range
of public functions such as passive
recreation, event space, a youth precinct
and weekend market.
Above top: Newport Quays, SA.
TCL, the architects and developers
worked closely to achieve an urban
environment which provides a wide
variety of spatial experiences within
this high density development.
Above below: Geelong Waterfront,
VIC. The waterfront comprises a
sequence of promenades as popular
destinations.
Right above: Victoria Harbour, VIC.
The comprehensive public realm

The Foreshore Plaza on a summer’s
day. The plaza provides a link between
the jetty and the township.
Above: Northern Expressway, SA.
The Gawler Bypass artworks
are integrated into the planted
embankments, drainage system and
road network, responding to the broad
scale of the interchange and the
driver’s experience at speed. Specialist
LED lighting highlights the ‘Snake Wall’
and underpass artwork.
Infrastructure
Opposite above: Adelaide Tram
Shelters, SA. The long vistas down
North Terrace and King William
Streets are an important part of the
character and integrity of Adelaide’s
two ceremonial streets. The shelters
are therefore as slender as possible,
reinforcing the linearity of the street
and presenting the minimum number
of vertical obstacles to the view.
Opposite below: Riverbank
Pedestrian Bridge, SA. The sculptural
bridge links the City of Adelaide to
the Adelaide Oval. The glass facade
reflects the movement of water, further
intensifying the bridge’s connection to
the River Torrens.
Craigieburn Bypass, VIC.
Motorists arriving along the Hume
Highway from Sydney first encounter
the ‘Curtain Wall’ which flows alongside
the driver until ultimately twisting to
become a pedestrian bridge over the
roadway. At this point, the view of
Melbourne is revealed.
Brisbane Airport Link, QLD. The key to
the success of the Southern Connection
was driven by a compelling geometric
layout, with repetitive jacaranda purple
louvres reinforcing the tunnel entrance.
Parks and Gardens
Opposite below: Adelaide Botanic
Garden Mediterranean Garden, SA.
A Garden which showcases stories
and plants from five Mediterranean
regions around the world.
Above: Birrurang Marr, VIC.
A new type of space beyond the
traditional notion of city parks. Not
a retreat, instead an urban place
designed to embrace society and civic
life and to celebrate public activity as a
source of interest.
Opposite above: Australian Garden
Cranbourne, VIC. Braided plantings
through Grass Trees ensure the flowing
forms of nature remain the dominant
visitor experience.
Lartelare Aboriginal Heritage Park, SA.
A local park which celebrates Aboriginal
culture through the interpretation of the
site’s heritage and local significance,
design and crafting of interpretive
elements, and selection of endemic
plantings. The project involved extensive
consultation with members of the local
Aboriginal community.
National Parks

Entrance sign to the coastal Innes
National Park. The sign references the
European history of long timber jetties,
while across the road markers refer to
the Aboriginal history of the region.
Left below: Flinders Chase National
Park, SA. The boardwalk skims over
low coastal vegetation and reinforces
the sense of making a journey down to
the seal colony on land’s edge.
Above: Uluru-Kata Tjuta Aboriginal
Cultural Centre, NT. Curved Walls
of desert sand create an entrance
courtyard encouraging visitors to pause
before entering the visitor centre. Views
are focused only on sections of Uluru
that were sanctioned by Anangu, the
traditional owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta.

TCL’s monograph, ‘Making Sense of Landscape’ is a celebration of 25 years of TCL’s
work, framed around three central themes of Narrative, Material Presence and Civic.
The introduction states that:
‘To read the book is to read co-existing multiple narratives to capture layered
impressions of TCL’s most personally and publicly influential projects. This collection
presents a diverse dialogue of views where 17 contributing authors, project designers
and everyday patrons reflect upon the work. In this way the book, much like a TCL
project, becomes a process of many voices and collaborations across a range of
contributors.’
