Jock Gilbert Bio

Jock coordinates the Theoretical Frameworks and Foundation Design Studio streams in the Landscape Architecture program at RMIT. He has an abiding interest in the unrepresentable and fleeting nature of the formless sublime thought and its relationship to landscape through the stories of the everyday. Jock is currently engaged in design research practice which seeks the elevation of these stories to the scale of the epic through a ‘working of the ground’ in a series of regional projects located in East Africa, South East Asia and Western New South Wales.
