Romaldo Giurgola, 95, Designer of Iconic Australian Parliament

摘要

In his 1970s design vision for a permanent parliament in Australia's capital of Canberra, according to an online government history, architect Romaldo "Aldo" Giurgola said the structure could not be built on top of the hilltop site, "as this would symbolize government imposed upon the people. The building should nest with the hill, symbolically rising out of the Australian landscape as true democracy rises from the state of things."
