Can a sane man switch from architecture to urban design ? From building houses and schools and hospitals, one by one, to building cities as a whole ? The answer is Yes, a sane man can.
By the way, can you tell, you sane reader, which city plan is this (see picture on top of this column), and who is the lucky guy who switched from building little houses in the desert to making a nation's history with a pair of compasses and a few sheets of tracing paper ? And when did that non-computerized magic trick take place ?...

Canberra, 1901, Griffith, am I right ?
Yes ! This is the capital city of Australia, located half way between Melbourne and Sydney.
Thanks for writing this.
