LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PLACEMENT

BIDWELLS:LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PLACEMENT

We need somebody, but not just anybody to join us.

We’re looking for an ambitious Landscape Architecture student or graduate to join us for a year-long placement commencing in Summer 2017.

As a Landscape Architecture Intern with Bidwells you will be part of our highly regarded Urban Design Studio where you will be able to assist in shaping the built environment of the future, be it new villages, science parks, commercial developments or university campus'.

We work across the country on multi-team projects where we link in seamlessly with colleagues in Bidwells’ planning, heritage, residential development and rural teams to offer clients an invaluable end-to-end service.

You'll get involved with everything, from master-planning to visual impact assessments and finding creative solutions for small pieces of land.

It's important to us that you have a passion for design. If you have some work experience already that will earn you extra brownie points. But if not, don’t worry, we’ll get you up to speed.

You’ll need to be IT savvy with a solid understanding of AutoCAD. It’s also important to us that you’re studying for, or hold a relevant degree in Landscape Architecture.

We will pay you competitively and give you some great benefits. Better still, you'll be treated fairly and be part of the team from day one.

You'll get the chance to grow with us. In-fact we want you to progress and will do all we can to help.

We understand you have lots of options open to you. But if Bidwells sounds like the place for you, why not apply. We'd love to speak with you.

Applications need to be made via our website by the 30th of April 2017.

Design for movement: Complete Street Design

Streetscape in Budapest

Landscape Architect Peter Piet, Associate Director at Steer Davies Gleave gave an inspirational talk to the students about the complete street design last week at our MA design studio. In his talk Peter explained the guidelines for successful complete street design and showed examples from all over the world. As urban population is increasing day by day and the cars are domination our cities, the streetscape has shifted its character from a civic space to arteries of vehicle movement. Peter gave us fascinating examples from street design across the globe how both can be achieved by creating hierarchies in the use and movement through good quality design where streets become enjoyable, walkable and functional public places in our complex cities.

MA Study Tour in Budapest

MA Landscape Architecture and Garden Design students went to Budapest between 8th-12th March 2017 for our study tour. Our tour started with a guided site visit at the Danube River Embankment  by the Landscape Architect Istvan Steffler who designed the Lagymanyosi Bay Revitalization Waterfront Park. Istvan explained us the history of the Danube embankment and the recent park development in the post-industrial era of Budapest. The designed park became a destination of recreation  for families who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, especially in summer months to enjoy the cool and peaceful atmosphere along the River Danube.

Another fascinating guided tour was with Landscape Architect Peter Balogh who explained us the Parliament Square contemporary design concept. We explored the urbanscape through a series of public spaces and architecture interlinked in the socio-political history of the city.
