Assignment Description

Over the semester our assessment requires us to re-imagine the Australian Capital Territory and produce a vision for the A.C.T. in the 21st century. Developing a strategy for the city and the national parliament which it houses, identifying the infrastructure relevant to a 21st century city and investigating appropriate architectural types for a city which represents Australia. From this basis we will ultimately produce an architectural proposal which seeks to address these issues and provide 'A Place for People'.

Identifying problems and issues associated with government

Link to an article titled 'Principles for Good Governance in the 21st Century' 


The article outlines and explains 5 principles for good governance:
- Legitimacy and Voice
- Direction
- Performance
- Accountability
- Fairness


Improved government in the 21st century requires greater transparency and openness with the Australian public so that the principles of good governance can be observed and scrutinized by the people it serves.
