Glenn Marcus Murcutt, Hon. FAIA, Selected for 2009 AIA Gold Medal

by Tracy Ostroff
Contributing Editor

“...his structures are said to float above the landscape, or in the words of the Aboriginal people of Western Australia whom he is fond of quoting, they ‘touch the earth lightly.’ Glenn Murcutt’s structures augment their significance at each stage of inquiry.”

-- Pritzker Prize Juror

“Recently our architectural field experienced an ‘ecological boom'. However, without relation to such a trend of time, Glenn Murcutt has always been focusing on the geographical and regional conditions, from the very beginning of his career.”

-- Tadao Ando
