Canberra's Modern Architecture

Canberra's planned landscape features a concentrated collection of 20th-century architectural landmarks. This selection highlights the city's evolution, from the Inter-War Stripped Classical style of Old Parliament House to the Brutalist concrete structures of the High Court and National Gallery. Key sites include the iconic copper-clad Shine Dome, the Parthenon-inspired National Library, and the 1988 Parliament House, famous for its boomerang-shaped design and grass-covered roof. Together, these buildings define the aesthetic of Australia's capital.
