Enlightenment ideals lead to orthogonal cities. Blocks of houses with roads intersecting at right angles. Intentionally designed, orderly, and rationale. Fitzroy and surrounding suburbs echo this sentiment, though the houses and roads have had their aesthetic margins and padding removed. No empty space for the sake of it, instead neighbouring houses that share walls, and front doors that open directly onto the footpath. Faces of houses reflect the view that magpies see from the sky above.
