The 66 year old Murcutt lives and has his office in Sydney, but travels the world teaching and lecturing to university students. In announcing the jury’s choice, Thomas J. Pritzker, president of The Hyatt Foundation, said, “Glenn Murcutt is a stark contrast to most of the highly visible architects of the day — his works are not large scale, the materials he works with, such as corrugated iron, are quite ordinary, certainly not luxurious; and he works alone. He acknowledges that his modernist inspiration has its roots in the work of Mies van der Rohe, but the Nordic tradition of Aalto, the Australian wool shed, and many other architects and designers such as Chareau, have been important to him as well. Add in the fact that all his designs are tempered by the land and climate of his native Australia, and you have the uniqueness that the jury has chosen to celebrate. While his primary focus is on houses, one of his public buildings completed in 1999, the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre, has achieved acclaim as well, critics calling it ‘a masterwork’.” Pritzker Prize jury chairman, J. Carter Brown, commented, “Glenn Murcutt occupies a unique place in today’s architectural firmament. In an age obsessed with celebrity, the glitz of our ‘starchitects,’ backed by large staffs and copious public relations support, dominate the headlines. As a total contrast, our laureate works in a one-person office on the other side of the world from much of the architectural attention, yet has a waiting list of clients, so intent is he to give each project his personal best. He is an innovative architectural technician who is capable of turning his sensitivity to the environment and to locality into forthright, totally honest, non-showy works of art. Bravo!” The formal presentation of what has come to be known throughout 3 the world as architecture's highest honor will be made at a ceremony on May 29, 2002 at Michelangelo’s Campidoglio in the heart of Rome. At that time, Murcutt will be presented with a $100,000 grant and a bronze medallion. Murcutt is the first Australian to become a Pritzker Laureate, and the 26th honoree since the prize was established in 1979. His selection continues what has become a ten-year trend of laureates from the international community. In fact, architects from other countries chosen for the prize now far outnumber the U.S. recipients, nineteen to seven. Bill Lacy, who is an architect spoke as the executive director of the Pritzker Prize, quoting from the jury citation which states, “His is an architecture of place, architecture that responds to the landscape and the climate. His houses are fine tuned to the land and the weather. He uses a variety of materials, from metal to wood to glass, stone, brick and concrete — always selected with a consciousness of the amount of energy it took to produce the materials in the first place.” Lacy elaborated, “Murcutt’s thoughtful aproach to the design of such houses as the Marika-Alderton House in Eastern Arnhem Land; the Marie Short House in New South Wales; and the Magney House at Bingie Bingie, South Coast, New South Wales, are testament that aesthetics and ecology can work together to bring harmony to man’s intrusion in the environment.” Ada Louise Huxtable, architecture critic and member of the jury, commented further saying, “Glenn Murcutt has become a living legend, an architect totally focused on shelter and the environment, with skills drawn from nature and the most sophisticated design traditions of the modern movement.” Another juror, Carlos Jimenez from Houston who is professor of architecture at Rice University, said, “Nurtured by the mystery of place and the continual refinement of the architect’s craft, Glenn Murcutt’s work illustrates the boundless generosity of a timely and timeless vision. The conviction, beauty and optimism so evident in the work of this most singular, yet universal architect remind us that architecture is foremost an ennobling word for humanity.” And from juror Jorge

  • Glenn Murcutt 2002 Laureate Biography
    Glenn Murcutt 2002 Laureate Biography Glenn Murcutt is either one of Australia’s best kept secrets, or one of the world’s most influential architects. Perhaps, both. On the other hand, we should temper “secret” somewhat since he has been the subject of numerous books and magazine articles throughout the world. One of the first definitive works wasGlenn Murcutt Works and Projects by Françoise Fromonot, first published in 1995. In that book, she describes Murcutt as the “first Australian architect whose work has attracted international attention.” His relatively low profile can best be explained by the fact that he works alone, primarily for clients who want houses that are not only environmentally sensitive, but provide privacy and security in a structure that pleases all the senses. In stark contrast to many of his contemporaries, Murcutt has declared, “I am not interested in designing large scale projects. Doing many smaller works provides me with many more opportunities for experimentation. Our building regulations are supposed to prevent the worst; they in fact fail to stop the worst, and at best frustrate the best—they certainly sponsor mediocrity. I’m trying to produce what I call minimal buildings, but buildings that respond to their environment.” “I have had to fight for my architecture. I have fought for it right from the outset because councils have clearly found the work a threat. For many designs I put to council, we either had to resort to a court for the outcome or better, negotiate a satisfactory result, always trying to avoid a compromise. I have had the greatest trouble with planning, building and health department staff, many of whom have backgrounds unrelated to architecture, but offer very conservative judgments in taste and aesthetics.” What manner of man and architect is this who could so openly state his opposition to the people who exercise so much control over what and how things should be built? A look at his colorful family, as well as how and where he was raised is a partial explanation.

Bangalore The workshop is conducted by two of the Masterclass tutors, Richard Leplastrier and Peter Stutchbury, both accomplished teachers, practitioners and Australian Institute of Architects Gold present Medal recipients. Dr. B.V. Doshi will join the Workshop on the last two days for the final reviews and lectures. For the 2015 workshop, participants will be invited to study the the edges of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore and suggest ways in which to negotiate the chaotic urban environ- bangalore ment on the street with the serene quality of the campus. The aim is to attempt a bridge both physically (through architectural workshop and programmatic ideas) and metaphorically between these two contrasting conditions. Though known internationally as a 2015 premier academic institution, IIMB is isolated from its immediate context and offers no opportunity for a dialogue. It is the hope that through the workshop one begins to find a way to have the Institute engage with the city and vice versa. This also offers a real opportunity to address the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and commercialism - how these edges are treated will hopefully offer clues for how ‘quality’ could find its way back into our street- scapes.

COURSE DESCRIPTION How do we design? What drives ideas and what generates concepts? How do we productively and critically engage with the vast history and contemporary practice of architecture in the process? How do we design places that are rooted in their location but reflective of the past and aspiring to a better future? How do we meld idealism with practicality? This studio will not offer answers to all of these questions but it will introduce one methodology and prompt a self­conscious and introspective approach to the design process. The studio is guided by ideas of morphology and context. Morphology is understood as form­finding or the deliberate, logical and well­argumented development of a formal strategy. Context is understood as the relation to site at different scales and through different lenses (physical, social, cultural) and includes the history of the discipline of architecture.
