This book offers a range of approaches to teaching higher education design students to learn to design collaboratively and creatively, through transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning experiences. It highlights that the premise of traditional disciplinary silos does little to advance the competencies needed for contemporary design and non-linear career paths. It makes the point that higher education should respond to the impacts of a changing society, including fluctuating market demands, economic variations, uncertainties, and globalization. Chapters highlight approaches that address this changing landscape, to meet student, industry and societal needs and reflect a range of design education contexts in which the authors have taught, with a focus on experiences at the Queensland University of Technology, Australia, but also including collaborations and comparative discussions elsewhere in Australia and globally, spanning Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States. The book is positioned not as a definitive theoretical model for transdisciplinary design education but instead as a collective of chapters in which many forms of learning are explored through overarching themes of curriculum design and experiential and authentic learning and collaboration, transforming professional identities, and design cultures.

In Australia, the artist’s engagement with the museum is traditionally regarded as having an important role in the colonial project but, as times have changed, the post-colonial viewpoint has come to the fore. The authors of Australian Artists and the Museum propose that the artists’ engagement has moved from politically informed critique taking place in museums of fine art, towards a critique of the creation of knowledge taking place in non-art museums, assuming new forms, including the artist acting as curator, art interventions that highlight the use of taxonomic modes of display and categorization, and the engagement with the aesthetics of collections to suggest different readings of objects and artefacts.

Ken Scarlett, one of Australia's best known curators and writers on sculpture, has this time written and illustrated a series of 30 short stories which draw upon his imagined and real experiences of life from adolescence through to the present. The stories are light-hearted, humorous, sometimes satirical and occasionally focused on the art-world as he found it during his career as a sculptor, art educationalist, curator and world traveller.

Sculpture parks and gardens, whether woodland sanctuaries or urban retreats, sprawling sites or intimate oases, offer sculpture lovers and artists alike unique ways to experience the outdoors, sculpture, and the intersections between nature and culture. Since the mid-20th century, these venues have become important tourist destinations and essential aspects of public life in cities such as Chicago, Minneapolis, and Seattle and regions such as Yorkshire in England and the Hudson Highlands in New York. Landscapes for Art: Contemporary Sculpture Parks surveys a wide range of sculpture parks and gardens that focus on contemporary art--from well-established, museum-type institutions to small-scale, non-collecting, experimental programs. The book includes profiles of sculpture parks in the U.S., U.K., Japan, Australia, Lithuania, China, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, India, Latvia, Sweden, and Finland (among others). There are articles on key topics by art critics, landscape architects, and sculpture park professionals and interviews with Isamu Noguchi, Martin Friedman, and Alfio Bonanno.

Women have been making art for centuries, yet their work has been seen as secondary or has gone unrecognized altogether. Women Making Art asks why this is so, and what it would take for us to realize the extent of women's extraordinary contribution to the arts. Marsha Meskimmon mobilizes contemporary feminist thinking to reconsider how and why women have made art. She examines work by a wide range of women artists from different cultures and historical periods, including Rebecca Horn, Rachel Whiteread, Shirin Neshat and Maya Lin, emphasizing the diversity of women's art and the importance of differences between women.

Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria, Australia, is a vibrant metropolis known for its rich culture, diverse population, and dynamic lifestyle. Nestled on the southeastern coast of Australia, Melbourne boasts a unique blend of modern urban development and historical charm. The city is celebrated for its art, music, cuisine, and sports, making it a beloved destination for both locals and tourists. Melbourne's unique character is shaped by its multicultural population. People from all corners of the globe have settled here, bringing with them their traditions, languages, and cuisines. This cultural diversity is reflected in the city's neighborhoods, each offering a distinct experience. From the Italian flair of Lygon Street to the bustling Vietnamese markets in Footscray, Melbourne is a tapestry of global cultures. The city's layout is a testament to its rich history and forward-thinking urban planning. The central business district (CBD) is a grid of streets filled with towering skyscrapers, heritage buildings, and hidden laneways. These laneways are famous for their street art, boutique cafes, and eclectic shops, providing a stark contrast to the wide, tree-lined boulevards and expansive parks that are scattered throughout the city. Melbourne is also a hub for arts and culture. The city is home to numerous galleries, theatres, and live music venues. Festivals celebrating film, comedy, and music fill the annual calendar, drawing artists and audiences from around the world. The city's commitment to the arts is evident in its public spaces, adorned with sculptures, murals, and installations that inspire and delight. Sports play a significant role in Melbourne's identity. The city hosts major international events such as the Australian Open tennis tournament, the Melbourne Cup horse race, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Additionally, Melbourne is the birthplace of Australian Rules Football, and its local teams enjoy a passionate following. The culinary scene in Melbourne is nothing short of spectacular. With influences from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, the city's restaurants offer a global dining experience. From high-end dining establishments to food trucks and street vendors, Melbourne caters to every palate and budget. Nature is never far from the urban hustle. The Yarra River winds its way through the city, providing scenic walking and cycling paths. Parks and gardens, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens and Carlton Gardens, offer lush green spaces for relaxation and recreation. Melbourne is a city that effortlessly combines the old with the new, the traditional with the contemporary, and the local with the international. Its dynamic character and welcoming spirit make it a destination like no other.
