In this episode, we meet Glenn Murcutt AO.
Glenn Murcutt's early years were spent in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. As he describes life on the Watut River, danger was a daily reality that taught the young Glenn to observe the landscape for signs of that danger and protection. This is the origin of Glenn Murcutt's now famous principles of 'prospect' and 'refuge' - dualities evident in his work over the past 55+ years. Brought back to Australia by the onset of war, Glenn Murcutt's path through school was difficult but he flourished at university studying architecture.
In this episode, Glenn Murcutt shares deeply personal lessons of learning to live with anxiety at the start of each new project, and his approach to getting the best out of each project once on site.
It is often said that Harry Seidler brought international architecture to our shores, and that Glenn Murcutt took Australian architecture to the world.
