Paul Pholeros Living Environment Scholars 2025.
The PPF is excited to announce the two successful Scholars for 2025-26.
This year we broadened the reach of the Scholarship to include submissions from eligible Landscape Architects, to better reflect the importance Paul always placed on the interrelationship between the natural and built environments.
Samuel Cannon
Samuel is a Landscape Architect who hails from Melbourne. Samuels’s study, “From Landfill to Legacy. Seeding Landscapes of Cultural Renewal” will explore how the practice of Landscape Architecture can empower local councils to proactively support, activate and accelerate new approaches in sustainable public space renewal.
Matthew Tibballs
Matthew, an Architectural Graduate, is also based in Melbourne. His study “The Promise Ring: Delivering Vibrant and Liveable Activity Centres for the SRL” aims to provide a proactive framework for precinct planning with tangible design principles and urban strategies to ensure the Suburban Rail Loop in Melbourne becomes a legacy of enhanced liveability and not a symbol of missed opportunity.
