University of Canberra vice-chancellor Paddy Nixon said that, “We also want to expand the sporting facilities available to the community – welcoming our neighbors to use the grounds for their exercise and recreational activities. The design team explained that even as the campus increases in density, its bush character will be preserved, offering a recognizable point of difference and uniquely Australian experience for campus users.

A series of neighborhoods will be linked by learning walks and corridors: pedestrian-prioritized zones that provide and showcase opportunities for learning and engagement, with supporting social, natural, and retail spaces. The Campus core, as the central neighborhood, will continue to be the focal point of all activity, supporting students, staff, and the broader community.
Architecture news & editorial desk
When nature meets design, living architecture happens. There is an emerging trend in the architectural industry to create buildings that integrate nature into the design, producing a living, thriving masterpiece.
Atlassian’s new global headquarters, coming soon to Central station with gardens that blur the separation between indoor and outdoor spaces or the Southbank by Beulah in Melbourne, featuring a green spine twisting up the tower façades are just some of the projects where the concepts of living architecture are being put to good use.
While architects have been introducing foliage and vegetation into buildings through green walls, green roofs and green facades over the past few years, what was once a niche element in building design, has now gone mainstream. Integrating nature into the fabric of buildings is the future of our cities because we recognise we need nature to be part of our daily lives.
