About The Author
Usue Ruiz Arana
Dr Usue Ruiz Arana is a chartered landscape architect, researcher and educator. Usue is the Degree Programme Director for the Master of Landscape Architecture at Newcastle University and teaches across design studios, professional practice and design thesis modules. Her research is focused on two interrelated strands: more-than-human conceptualisations and listening and sounding in Landscape Architecture practice. Through her research, Usue seeks to affirm non-humans as designers, and design and art as forms of research, drawing from her experimental arts methods that include soundwalks, photography and temporary installations, and her 20-year career in practice. Her keen interest in design and art as forms of research informs her role as Thinking Eye editor of the peer review Journal of Landscape Architecture.
