Glenn Marcus Murcutt AO is an Australian architect and winner of the 1992 Alvar Aalto Medal, the 2002 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the 2009 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal and the 2021 Praemium Imperiale. Glenn Murcutt works as a sole practitioner without staff, builds only within Australia and is known to be very selective with his projects. Being the only Australian winner of the prestigious Pritzker Prize, he is often referred to as Australia's most famous architect. Born: 25 July 1936 London, England Nationality: Australian Occupation: Architect Awards: RAIA Gold Medal (1992) Alvar Aalto Medal (1992) Pritzker Architecture Prize (2002) American Institute of Architects Gold Medal (2009) Praemium Imperiale (2021) Buildings: Marie Short House (1975), Fredericks House (1982), Ball-Eastaway House (1983), Magney House (1984), Marika-Alderton House (1994), Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre (1999), Australian Islamic Centre (2016), Cobar Sound Chapel (2022) Design philosophy: His father found success as a gold prospector in New Guinea, and Murcutt spent the first five years of his life there. The family’s home was constructed of corrugated iron and set on top of stilts to keep out water and animals; the design of this house, and of other houses built by his father, would later inform many of Murcutt’s own choices as an architect of houses and other small-scale buildings. ………. Murcutt’s buildings reflect his desire to maintain harmony with the environment. His houses often feature corrugated iron with the ribs laid horizontally, creating a linearity that he felt responded to the landscape instead of competing with it. As a result of his sense of a building’s functionality, few of his designs called for air-conditioning. In projects such as the Magney House (1984), Moruya, New South Wales, the flow of air is controlled through the implementation of slatted roofs, screens, and blinds, while wide eaves provide shelter from the sun. Other eco-conscious features include the V-shaped roof, which collects rainwater for reuse. Source: https://www.britannica.com/biography/... His father introduced him to the architecture of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and the philosophies of Henry David Thoreau, both of which influenced his architectural style.

Quotes: “Life is not about maximizing everything, it's about giving something back - like light, space, form, serenity, joy. You have to give something back.” “Architecture is not created, it is discovered – the hand will find solutions before the mind can even comprehend them.” “Layering and changeability: this is the key, the combination that is worked into most of my buildings. Occupying one of these buildings is like sailing a yacht; you modify and manipulate its form and skin according to seasonal conditions and natural elements, and work with these to maximize the performance of the building.” “Buildings should open and close and modify and re-modify and blinds should turn and open and close, open a little bit without complication. They should do all these things. That is a part of architecture for me, the resolution of levels of light that we desire, the resolution of the wind that we wish for, the modification of the climate as we want it. All this makes a building live.”
