The Griffins Win

Almost Winners

WJ Gilroy (c1873–?)

Entry 1
Melbourne, Victoria

Gilroy’s plan shows a free-flowing curvilinear street layout that avoids axial relationships between buildings. Parliament and government offices occupy a large rectangular site west of Kurrajong Hill, with the art gallery and national theatre to the south. An unusual feature is a monorail or electric railway curving along the southern part of the site.
