Capithetical. New australian capital.

One hundred years after its foundations, the capital of Australia is facing new challenges. The logic of physical proximity and geographical convenience that regulated the "balanced" positioning in the capital (the battle of sites) are renewed by the forecasts of a future marked by several milestones of which the hypothetical scenario of the capital will seize the opportunity. Canberra stands as mediator between the city of angels and that one placed on the ground.
