"touch this earth lightly..." Glenn MurcuttGlenn Murcutt, although born in London (25 July 1936) is proudly claimed as one of Australia's own architects. His upbringing in remote New Guinea gave Murcutt an appreciation for primitive architecture snd would later influence his own designs. Renowned for his lines, which are in perfect harmony with nature, and for his 'simple living' approach, Murcutt has won numerous awards and prizes for his endeavours. Murcutt plays close attention to the environment: wind direction, water movement, temperature, light and Australia's landscape all largely influence his work. Materials are selected according to their energy efficiency and economy and often include glass, stone, brick, concrete and corrugated metal.
