Monumental design outlines for National Library at Capital
The article details the proposed National Library design in Canberra, emphasizing classical proportions, a 70 foot monumental column surrounding travertine walls, and a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. It notes the building's legible architecture from multiple vantage points, a level podium expandable to five sections, and the use of Greek marble stairs, with planning by the National Capital Development Commission and experts from abroad.
