• Guide book: 'Melbourne Architecture' by Philip Goad, The Watermark Press, reprint 2001, $39,60•
'At the head of the flat basin of Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne's settlement in 1835 was a shrewd, if not entirely legal, piece of real estate speculation, not at all like Sydney and Hobart which began as penal colonies. Surveyor Robert Hoddle's grid plan (1837) grew over the next 160 years, and Melbourne developed from a hick pastoral outpost to an urbane city. Today, that grid remains, housing a dense concentration of skyscrapers studded with elegant Vistorian public buildings, surrounded by graceful public gardens to the north, east and south; serviced until recently by docks to the west; and approached by the tree-lined boulevards of St. Kilda and Flemington roads and Royal and Victoria parades. (…) Melbourne's pluralistic culture is nurtured by an intense self-awareness of its architectural history - the quality of its streets, its grid, its gardens, and its often wayward and obsessive preoccupation with ideas.' P. Goad
Three inner-city walking Tours have been chosen for their high concentrations of interesting buildings. We will have the pleasure of seeing significant buildings (also high rise and bridges) and meeting with some of their architects.
