Best Answer

Because Canberra is a new city, it hasn't seen a lot of architectural movements yet. With most of the city's developments happening in the 60's, brutalist and constructivist buildings (which most people now see as bland or hideous) were popular. Now however modernist and post modernist buildings are being built everywhere during Canberra's latest boom.
