NATIONAL IDENTITY of Australia

The development of an architectural solution to modify or add to the existing 'capital' must involve consideration of the National identity of Australia.

History part of identity:

• Artistically rich  culture of the Aboriginal people
• Transferred culture of Britain
• Younger culture of Australia independently

Identity is about how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us.

Australia today :

Strong connection to the land, outdoors, active

Laid back, social.

Freedom, rights.

Most liveable cities: Australian cities, Melbourne.
