Vladimír Sitta, born in Brno, studied at the Agricultural University, Department of Landscape Architecture from 1964 to 1969. In 1981, he emigrated to Australia. His company Terragram designs in Australia, Asia, and the USA, winning several international competitions. He is a laureate of the Berlin P. J. Lenné Prize in 1981, 1986, and the President’s Prize of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects in 2002.
The following interview is not entirely typical for an architectural portal. It is conducted with a landscape architect, which is not a field commonly frequented on the media scene, and it also does not present photogenic objects of new constructions. Let us add right at the beginning that this time the architect’s client is also atypical: he is a city resident, but a resident "without a home". Therefore, the interview touches upon social aspects in addition to the usually discussed design process. The main actor is a Czech-Australian architect who offers the domestic reader a detailed insight into the functioning of mechanisms of Australian democracy at the community level.
Unlike usual practices, the interview was created "at a distance" in the form of email correspondence between Prague and Sydney.
