Adrian Marshall

Adrian is a landscape architect investigating the translation of ecological knowledge into built urban form.

Through his PhD project Adrian is looking at the ecosytem and social benefits of road verges (nature strips) focusing on 47 mostly residential neighbourhoods in Melbourne, Australia. His research question is: What spatial, environmental and social drivers underpin road verge extent, distribution and vegetation? See details of Adrian’s research here.

Previously, through working with the Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) and in partnership with the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, his research has focused on developing design guidelines for the protection of remnant grassland habitat within urban areas, the results of which are published through the VNPA as Start with the grasslands.

He is co-editor of the ‘Land of sweeping plains: managing and restoring the native grasslands of south-eastern Australia’.

He has taught across numerous subjects at the University of Melbourne’s School of Design and RMIT University’s Landscape Architecture program.
