Great stuff. I posted a landscape-scale pattern a while ago, the centre-pivot irrigated fields: http://www.cityofsound.com/blog/2007/04/bestlaid_plans_.html

The three linked hexagonal buildings are the Coombs Building at the Australian National University, built in the sixtes and seventies. It houses the Research School of Social Sciences.

Great post! A few thoughts:

It’s Parliament House on Capital Hill.

The inner circle is City Hill, the outer hexagonal road is London Circuit. At 2 o’clock on London Circuit there are opposing square buildings with central court spaces. These are the Civic Offices (Yuncken Freeman, 1961).

The outer circular road is Arthur Circle, the inner one Tasmania Circle. Collins Park is in the centre.

The three linked hexagonal buildings I need to think about.

Below that is Callam Offices in Woden, John Andrews (1980).

Seidler’s Trade Group or Barton Offices, about to be gutted and turned into the new AFP HQ.

Not sure about the bottom one.
