About this document
Canberra by Adriano Piantella is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The initial plan for Canberra designed by Marion and Walter Griffin was based on ancient cosmological symbolism rather than contemporary city planning models. Specifically, it featured crossed land and water axes oriented towards sacred mountains, drawing on traditions from ancient Rome, Greece, China, and other cultures. The plan was meant to express continuity between Eastern and Western cosmic symbolism through its geometrical structures derived from sacred geometry.
