Glenn Murcutt: Unbuilt Works

‘Architecture is not about a material, it’s about place-making. It’s about prospect, refuge, climate, topography, flora, fauna, it is about making beautiful spaces that link with the landscape.’ — Glenn Murcutt A thinker consider to be ahead of his time, Glenn Murcutt AO is one of the world's most celebrated architect, having won the Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal, the Alvar Aalto Medal, the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal. He is known for his highly considered process of discovery that responds uniquely to the Australian landscape. For Glenn Murcutt: Unbuilt Works, Glenn’s former student and assistant Nick Sissons worked in close collaboration with Glenn to present a selection of never-before-seen projects documenting the journey between some of the esteemed architect’s most notable works. Using extraordinary true-to-life renders, Glenn Murcutt: Unbuilt Works reveals ten previously unknown designs in remarkable detail, including original hand-drawn plans, sections, elevations and sketches from his personal archive, and Glenn discusses each project in detail, examining the progression of his design philosophy while lending a new perspective into his life and works. In this special event recorded at the State Library of NSW, Glenn Murcutt and Nick Sissons appear in conversation about the book with Laura Harding. This event was presented in collaboration with the Architecture Foundation Australia: https://www.ozetecture.org/
