Background

About Iris Fong

Iris is a talented Landscape Architect currently practising in Melbourne, and a sessional tutor specialising in studio teaching and design thinking. Her professional interests include constructs of urbanisms, cultural and social representation, spatial narrative and placemaking. Iris’s research endevours on Asian urbanisms and user-spatial relationship are documented in her thesis and portfolio. Growing up in Hong Kong, a concrete jungle where urban lives thrive secretly in all corners, be it a pocket park or an industrial pier, Iris has developed a strong passion on uncovering the mystery of different urbanisms and their complex formation materialised in the form of natural, urban and cultural landscapes. Combined with her observation, conceptual and research skills, Iris is determined to pursue a career which focuses on the narrative aspect and poetic expression of the relationship and conflicts between the people and environment.
