Lauren Nissen - Landscape Architect and Urban Designer of the future!

Lauren Nissen is a Landscape Architect and Senior Associate at ASPECT Studios in Sydney Australia. Growing up w/ a keen interest in science and having a natural creative flair has taken Lauren on a Journey that most SolarPunks and Urban Permaculturists would only dream of. She has helped design and worked on some of the most progressive and forward-thinking projects found anywhere in the world. Not only is she building the future we SolarPunks are hoping for, but she is also incredibly insightful when it comes to understanding how places of the future will function as mechanisms of societal support. If you're a Sydney-sider you'll be familiar w/ some of these projects including the Darling Quarter precinct, home to the dopest playground around. The now world-famous 1 Central Park - a commercial/residential village that looks like it belongs in Singapore and if you're a current or former UTS student, you've likely sat and chat or studied on the newly developed Alumni green.  You can see all of the ASPECT studio projects on the gram @aspectstudios or on the website at www.aspect-studios.com/au.
