This thesis argues that Walter Burley Griffin's Capitol as a place of popular congregation on a prominent city site had a critical place in his design for Australia's Federal Capital It offers an intensive and critical reflection on the nature, origin and cultural implications of the Capitol in the context of Canberra's subsequent planning and development. The Capitol represented the essential idea from which he constructed an organic design, integrated with the site conditions and following Sullivan's famous dictum Form follows function. It signified organic democracy, 'a grass roots view' which Griffin shared with Sullivan, rather than the 'top down view' of the mandated power of Government. In order to provide an understanding of how these principles informed Griffin's design, Sullivan's and Griffin's published and unpublished writings are critically reviewed for evidence of the convergence of ideas and agreement on fundamental principles. Resonance with these principles was found in the Competition Drawings and the Original Report entered in the Competition by Griffin. The analysis also drew upon an extensive critical review of sources such as Marion Mahony Griffin's Magic of America, parliamentary papers, archival records, personal papers, and the published literature of Australian and American scholars on Sullivan and Griffin. Sources pertaining to historical movements in architecture and town planning and narratives on architecture for government also formed part of this critical review. The conclusion is that when the desires of the Commonwealth Government were focused by its chief architect on Griffin's Capitol site as the place which should be occupied by Parliament House, the nadir was reached for Griffin's original concept. The vision supplanted, the unravelling of Griffin's organic city plan, with its connections with the ideas of Louis Sullivan, began. Other ideologies began to be introduced with other relationships of form and function, and cost to the organism which was Griffin's city .

The purpose of this study was to examine the changing relationship between the National Park Service and the residents of Wayne County, Utah. In 1937, Capitol Reef National Park was created as a result of the efforts made by local residents looking for a solution to their economic problems. Over the next five decades, the anticipated economic upturn spurred by the National Park did not develop. Instead, the relationship between the parties involved underwent a radical change because of conflicts over private landholdings, grazing and mineral rights, expansion, development, and road building. While this study does trace the growth of Capitol Reef into a national park, it is not an administrative history of the site. Its focus is on failure of the Park to live up to the expectations of its early supporters and the resulting deterioration of the relationship between local residents and the National Park Service.

The position of California in the years 1846-1850 was different from that of any other portion of the country; she did not become a state until 1850, and she as not even a territory. Though she was in the military possession of the United States, the ownership was not legal until the Treaty of Guadealoupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848. The military governors in California could do little without specific orders from Washington, but it was obvious that the confusion caused by the gold rush was hastening the end ot the inefficient mexican laws. By 1849, daily increasing crowds of foreigners, in the mines and in San Francisco, necessitated some sort of civil government. The military governors waited for directions from Washington with growing anxiety, while the miners developed their own government, usually the lynch law. Meanwhile, in Congress, the admission of California into the Union had become entangled with the slavery issue; the north and south had an equal number of states represented in Congress, and the southern men feared California would never be a slave state. Since the complete of the construction of the state capitol in Sacramento is a long and tedious one, this chapter will give only a survey of events up to its final completion. On February 27, 1863, the Senate, after much harangue, passed a vote of 22 to 9 a bill to provide a special fund, by taxation, to complete work on the capitol. The bill passed the Assembly on March 17, and on April 9, the Assembly passed another Senate appropriation bill.29 In December of the same year, Governor Leland Stanford, in his message, emphasized the necessity for finishing the building as soon as possible, which could not be done in a pay-as-you go method heretofore employed.30 Work has been resumed on the building in June, 1863, and by the beginning of 1866, the interior work was being done. On January 1, 1866, Reuben Clark was judged insane and sent to the state asylum in Stockton, and was succeeded by Gordon P. Cummings. At last, in 1869, the building was ready. To study the history of the seat of government of this state is to become familiar with the bickerings, delays, corruption, pettiness, greed, and frailties of republicanism at work. Yet the history of the government of California is at the same time a marvelous example of the opportunities, ideals, and accomplishments of democracy in action, building a mighty state. Those who read in this history inefficiency, confusion, blunders, and waster should not overlook that the cornerstone of the structure is belief that each individual has the right to his share in the development of his institutions. Such has always been the characteristic of california--and such the characteristic of the nation she helped to build

Typical of many American downtowns, Austin, Texas, has experienced renewed interest in redevelopment over the past two decades. Following City policies, this redevelopment has tended to be mixed-use in nature and has included elements of placemaking and walkability. A glaring exception to recent trends is the Capitol Complex, an area north of the State Capitol building that is home to various state government office buildings. The Capitol Complex displaced a more traditional mixed-use neighborhood in the 1950s and has been plagued by disjointed planning activities ever since. Recent budgetary challenges and a shortage of office space have prompted the state government to reexamine the Capitol Complex as a target for redevelopment. This professional report scrutinizes the Capitol Complex as a “non-place” that is challenged by walkability issues in an effort to make recommendations to ensure successful redevelopment that is more consistent with that found in the rest of downtown Austin. First, the literature on placemaking and walkability demonstrate what the Capitol Complex lacks. A case study provides a good comparison to see what policies have helped to improve districts near state office buildings. Second, the history of the Capitol Complex provides context for how the area became what it is today. Third, a land use and walkability analysis utilizing GIS along two corridors in the Complex and a pedestrian count show that the area is unfriendly to pedestrians and lacks activity on nights and weekends. Finally, the report offers both policy and urban design recommendations to help ensure that redevelopment activities contribute to make the Capitol Complex a walkable “place.” / text
