G Wallace Williamson
Entry 63
West Southbourne, Hampshire, England
Although Williamson’s design is obviously flawed, the quality
of the drawing and some elements of the composition suggest that he had
some
technical education or training.
This design is a strange combination of centres of activity linked
only indirectly by major radial streets. Parliament is located on the
north
bank of the Molonglo. An avenue extends northwest from the city centre
to a ‘Pleasure Centre’ with a National Theatre, Winter Gardens
Pavilion, Music Hall, places of amusement – and a church site.
