When the Australian government announced a competition for the design of the national capital, architects, landscape architects, engineers, surveyors, town planners and other hopefuls from around the world took up the challenge. Most of the 137 entries were discarded but Canberra 1912 reproduces the forty-seven plans preserved in Australian archives, where most have remained unseen since 1912. Supporting drawings and explanations by the competitors and summaries of contemporary Australian and overseas reaction and criticism supplement this exceptional portfolio of designs. Canberra 1912 is a fascinating, sometimes bizarre, account of the Canberras that could have been.
