Course Content 1969 -1970 Diploma of Landscape Architecture - Neil Aitken

Audio

Description

“Two different influences in the academic staff”

Neil Aitken came to the first DipLA class the year after he completed his National Diploma in Horticulture through an apprenticeship scheme. He had worked at the Christchurch City Council and then in the landscape section at the Ministry of Works (MOW) through which he gained a study award that enabled him to enrol for the new course.

Neil recalls the different teaching styles that Frank and Charlie brought to the DipLA course and some of the challenges he encountered as a student.
