Infographic: Characteristics of Dwellings in Canberra, AU 1958
Unfortunately the scan got a little cut off in the margin of the book, but this is from the Planning survey report of Canberra city district published in 1959 by the National Capital Development Commission.
Interesting to see data like the % of various building materials used on the exterior of buildings being tabulated and represented spatial. The result is a map that starts to indicate qualities of the built environment, but does so on an objective basis. You interpret whether a primarily brick neighborhood is good or bad, these are the facts.
The original offset print is beautiful and unfortunately it does not translate well to screen.
