Description
"As designers of buildings, architects make a major contribution to the totality of the built environment, and nowhere is this more so than in the centres of our major cities. On the eve of the current review of the Town Plan for the City of Brisbane, it seemed appropriate that the Queensland Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects should generate and contribute to public debate on the future direction for Brisbane, which will be established by that plan, particularly as it relates to the Central Business District.To achieve this aim, an ideas competition was conducted to explore the potential for a New Urban Architecture for Brisbane which could express and enhance the unique qualities of a major riverside city in a sub-tropical climate." -- From foreword.
