Public Art Stroll: Canberra City
To connect with audiences who cannot physically make it to Canberra during the festival, DESIGN Canberra is curating a DESIGN Anytime program. This new program includes self-guided tours of iconic architecture and contemporary design throughout Canberra. This will promote and celebrate Canberra as a global city of design every day of the year. This walking tour of public art begins in Civic Square on London Circuit and ends in Knowles Place on London Circuit on the other side of City Hill.

S MARITTI,<br />
‘Untitled’<br />
1967<br />
ten relief panels, copper coated concrete;<br />
subsequently painted<br />
These panels are integrated into the façade of the<br />
building and designed to complement the architecture.<br />
In their abstracted form of rhythmic grids, suggesting<br />
the dynamism of modern life they are a perfect foil to the<br />
bank building, one of the numerous cool internationalist<br />
1960s constructions that defined <strong>Canberra</strong>’s new civic and<br />
commercial heart. The artist is otherwise unknown and it is<br />
thought that s/he may have been the builder.<br />
LOCATION. Corner of London Circuit and Ainslie<br />
Place, Commonwealth Bank Building facade<br />
