VERNACULAR

the vernacular of a city is determined by its history and adaption to the modern/future developments...

a comparison can be made from other developing countries like australia, such as;


brasilia, brasil - created by architect LĂșcio Costa and inaugurated in 1960. the development of the countries capital invited population and economic activity to Brazil’s interior, while following a socially egalitarian and functional vision of the city. though it is threatened by several environmental and social dysfunctions in turn broken up and untidy towards the city fringes, where the poorest people are concentrated.


canberra, australia -  created by architect Walter Burley Griffin and inaugurated in 1911.
