Tract Landscape Architects and Planners (Master Landscape Architect)

The emergence of Tract Consultants in 1972 as Australia's first national planning, urban design and landscape design practice coincided with an unprecedented period of development in Australia. Tract, by virtue of the breadth of its integrated planning and landscape design skills, and also its national presence in Australia's largest four cities, participated in this building boom to the extent that most Australians now come into contact with Tract's work on a daily basis. Tract's story is of a leading contemporary planning and design practice built on uniting two professional disciplines that developed in isolation from each other for over half a century: planning and landscape design. This monograph presents an overview of more than 30 years' work, presented with colour photographs, plans, and drawings, and insightful essays from editors Haig Beck and Jackie Cooper.
