URBAN DESIGN

URBAN DESIGN STUDIO I


Region, an administrative division or district  is the first complex issue contended within Urban Design Studio I. The studio focused on Canberra, capital of Australia; identified by its unique design by Walter Burley Griffin. 

Canberra faces the challenges of the modern world moving towards an environmentally friendly infrastructure. The project was submitted to the Canberra CAPIThetical Competition in Australia. 

The vision for Canberra-Garden City Redux was generated from five guiding principles:

Capital Identity
Ecological Performance Education
Increasing Density
Opportunities: Not Necessity
Ecology and Education 

Design and collaboration:
Lauren N. Fraley

Canberra, Garden City Redux

Since its design nearly one hundred years ago by Walter Burley Griffin, Canberra has come to face enormous challenges in the modern world. The original Griffin plan reflected the era of the Garden City  and the golden age of the automobile. 

A hundred years forward into the present day, Canberra faces the global movement of sustainability. As an archetypal Garden City, it finds itself conflicted with the immense distances and voids created by the natural landscapes. 

This project utilizes the regional environment unique to inland Australia. The result is a biodiverse, vibrant urban environment that works in accordance with the natural landscape. 
The concept retains the importance  of the Garden City while creating a contemporary city identity.  This new identity retains the original geometrical master plan by Griffin.

Capital identity results by addressing the emerging urban issues, such as transportation, infill, density and education, while preserving the qualities that make the Australian Capital Territory irreplaceable.
