‘If you had to do it now, how would you even begin to think about designing a capital for 21st century Australia?\u2019<\/b>\u00a0asked Robyn Archer.<\/p>\n

In 1913 American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony won an international competition to design the new capital of Australia.<\/p>\n

Marking the Centenary of Canberra,\u00a0CAPITheticAL<\/i>, a competition to design a hypothetical capital city for the next century, was launched and more than 1200 practitioners registered their interest, with entries received from 24 different countries.<\/p>\n

The Gallery of Australian Design is delighted to present a free exhibition that displays these ideas of what Canberra might look and feel like if a competition were held in 2013 as presented by the 20 finalists of\u00a0CAPITheticAL<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The exhibition opens at the Gallery of Australian Design on 6 March 2013 and winners of the international competition will be announced on 14 March, sharing prizes worth more than $100,000.<\/p>\n

The 20 finalists on display at the Gallery of Australian Design present a rich trove of ideas, both fantastical and practical, to provoke, amuse and ultimately delight visitors to the exhibition. Using plans, videos and drawings, each designer’s vision for the city of the future offers imaginative resolutions to questions of national symbolism and identity, access to government, sustainable development and community building for the year 2013.<\/p>\n

Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony\u2019s design, selected as the best from an international field, was intended as an ideal city, one that responded to the concerns of the time.<\/p>\n

One hundred years later, times have changed. Questions of sustainability, liveability, transport and climate change challenge the way we live today and must influence plans for the future.<\/p>\n

In the CAPITheticAL exhibition,, a new generation of town planners, urban designers, architects and students consider how Canberra might be extended and modified to accommodate the pressures and concerns of the future – or even if a new capital should be created.<\/p>\n

Gallery Director Magdalene Keaney says: \u2018Having the CAPITheticAL exhibition, a showcase of the 20 finalists selected by the jury as the best ideas to come out of this exciting competition, at the Gallery of Australian Design is a perfect fit.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are extremely proud not only to be the venue but to have been selected as the curatorial concept and production team for the exhibition.\u2019<\/p>\n

CAPITheticAL<\/i>\u00a0is a Centenary of Canberra project, proudly supported by the ACT Government and the Australian Government, and is administered by the Australian Institute of Architects.<\/p>\n
