Identify Canberra Characteristic

Characteristics:

Sydney - Businessman

Melbourne - Culture & Art center

Brisbane - Sunshine & Beach boy

Perth - Mineral center

CANBERRA ?

- Conductor: symbolistic political city, original city, garden city and mixed culture center... ...

As an conductor, it can give orders to other cities.

If Sydney is a wealthy business man, if Melbourne is a creative artist, if Perth is an conscientious engineer, if Brisbane is an energetic young man, than we believe Canberra should be a wise conductor. We believe Canberra should be attractive, should be symbolic model of a country, should educates people in a positive attitude, and it should also presents itself uniquely. We propose a new political system with a distributed form which serves the country and its people in a more efficient way and sincere attitude. In consideration of the environment, we added new infrastructure layer on top of existing ones, separating functions and boosting functional efficiency.

Howard emphasised the important of order and a harmonious atmosphere in the satellite towns. Note the railways and highroad that connect the central city to the garden cities, the plan allows for each town to find peace in a pre-planed countryside setting, while retaining a connection to necessary service and employment opportunities.

Canberra Parliament House Design-Research

1913 plan of the Griffins’ scheme with Capital Hill within the circular road in the centre of image.

The Griffins’ intentions were unravelled with the government decision to construct the provisional Parliament House (PPH) in 1923 at the foot of the modest Camp Hill where according to the Griffin plan the permanent parliament was to be sited. As may be expected the decision to construct the PPH in this location prompted concern and as early as 1923 planners saw problems with the decision. At issue was whether the construction of this ‘temporary’ house would negate the potential of the permanent site.

Basically there are four pyramids, each built upon the other. There is the upper pyramid that has its base in front of Old Parliament House. Then there is an extended pyramid which is what is termed the Parliamentary Precinct, accommodating the High Court of Australia, and other government identities, Next is the larger and more obvious large pyramid base that runs from London Circuit over to the US memorial column.
