Our world is a better place because of men like Mr. Murcott. An architect's principal role is to delight our souls with wonderful art in which to live and work. There are many beautiful ways to do this, and Mr. Murcott's way is definitely one of them! Australia must feel proud.
Amidst nature, in absolute peace & tranquility.... the nature surrounding is absolutely out of this world.👍👏👏 Simplistic Architecture that blends well with the greenery.👍👏👏👏
Beautiful and informative documentary video of the architect and his approach to design and environment. I find it to encourages me to pause and pay attention to how a designed building can engage in a thoughtful and sensitive way with the natural environment and its human occupants.
So wonderful to hear about design thinking with such sensitivity, thank you Glenn Murcutt for your legacy of interpreting Australian landscape so well thru your buildings.
An amazing teacher , is a poet and transform with such passion the value of a great home with exquisite environments, love it , INSPIRES ME...THANKS SOMMUCH FOR SHARING🕊♥️
Glenn Murcutt looks at the world in a different way. Challenging concepts as basic as "front door" and the white, western way of entering a structure, he creates buildings that enabled alternative ways of entrance, exit, and use of light and shade. His idea with the Simpson-Lee house of 'inundation" in times of fire is startling and original but makes so much sense.
Beautifully done short film. Inspirational and I love how he speaks about his work as much like a composer or a painting. As an artist I understand that and appreciate how he talks about the human spirits need for these things
So bloody beautiful! I once stumbled across the first house, at Mt.Wilson, at the beginning of a bush walk and went over and took a few pics. Such a treat to see this gorgeous building in the flesh.
Beautiful houses. Wonderful architect. i’d love to see someone like him design some small houses for the average income earner on one of the new subdivisions. Very few people can aspire to own houses like this- or even own the size of land required.
There's so many negative comments on here 🥺. why :( I think the artistic speak is a little unnecessary, but the way he talks about the surroundings and how he tries to design to amplify those surroundings speak to his enthusiasm about environment, sustainability, and vernacular (not necessarily in this work, but in many of his others). This guy truly loves what he does and it shows! Every part of the building he designs is incredibly thought through based on the client's needs and the site. I disagree with those who think his body of work is elitist
He is the best of the best. I meant he is among the top in the Pritzker winners, what a genius . Had the experience staying i na home from him in the Great ocean road
20:00 .... the essence of what's necessary ... an *architecture of necessity* it's about structure ... it's about materials ... it's about how you put them together ... it's about space ... it's about life ... its about really important issues for the human spirit to be able to appreciate nature ... to feel qualities of nature ... breathe up the importance of nature to our health ... to our intelligence to the importance of a child ... these are really important issues for a species this is actually essential stuff I'm interested in what is essential and out of essential I'd love to think that you structure the junction of the *poetic and the rational* they must come together not separately, *must be together* ... .
With all due respect, are Mr. Murcutt and Foster somehow related? The passion in their voices, the keywords emphasis, the formation of the sentence structurе... makes me feel like I'm listening to the same person, On the main part, I like the view that he gave on the buildings from a psychological aspect, because I as well think that is the essence that helps one person to be happy and satisfied from within.
3:53 Anyone know what is the point those panels by the window? Is it just so you can see the ground outside? I've seen a similar type of horizontal panel by windows of the Donaldson House by Murcutt.
Could that be possible to have the contract details of the designer? I am intended to build my new house in my acreage in QLD. Try to preserve more natural habitats for local animals and less damage to the environment. Thank you.

The comparison of that forest house with aboriginal tradition seems like BS to me. A person who traditionally moved through this location would be devastated by encountering this building.

I can open the sliding glass doors or windows in my living room and master bedroom and hear a symphony from the large pond outside. I don't need this large, overbearring, structure to embrace nature. Give me a break.
Let's not mention the energie inefficiency of this house!!! And please people don't even start with solar panels and such things, cause those are neither ethicaly nor sustainably made!! If we ever want a future in this planet we need to start minimizing all kinds of consumption/exploitation of it and equally share resources. A note: I cringed when he says the aboriginal people in their caves!!!!
@Detective Halverson I have learnt not to argue with a person of your standing. You will bring me down to your low, low level and then beat me with your experience.
when the forces are binary, that is summer/winter, cold/hot, wet/dry, quiet/load, in/out he is most elegant. However when he builds in melbourne he's disorientated as his architectural vocab doesnt conciliate with the the complex cultural and climatic nuances; he's simply out paced. Luckily for him he's only designing the MPavillion which has a very simple, open and transient brief. Im sure itll be an alluring and prismatic shed. The Newport islamic mosque distracts rather than inspires, but then mosques have only really culturally appropriated from the hellenes without the embedded liturgical processes, theological semiotics and timely engineering adventure therefore licensing Murcutt to stamp a 'new' look to another hollow brief; apologies to the PC and the culturally illiterate.This is better highlighted when FLW designed the orthodox church in Milwaukee; functional, practical, nuanced, contemporary whilst still very recognisably Orthodox and still very FLW. Franky highlights his ever penetrating mastery and Glen presumably believing gushes of the protege who believed he peaked and she was a significant impetus,
Drives me crazy listening to this guy's bs - aka, typical architect blather. How does this style of building work for the other 7B people who don't have the luxury of owning lots of land and building custom residences? Let's get real. Show us how to make cities work with thousands of people per sq mile, not beautiful remote properties with 1 person per sq mile. Smh
''this style'' . . . sorry but you've missed the point - its nothing to do with '''style'' it is about the principles of design! . . unfortunately developers ignore those principles in favour of profit and cookie cutter solutions. It not about luxury its about appropriate design, technology and responses to different environments, cultural needs etc - there is no 'one size fits all'. Massive global urbanisation has left significant challenges for human race but they do not lesson the fundamentals of the principles of appropriate design and response - society and developers choose to ignore that hence cities with poverty, inadequate housing, inadequate sanitation, ignoring the cultural and societal needs and so on.
@@savagechadwick4147 Sorry to burst your bubble. It's typical architect blather, not 'principles of design'. If this guy's such a visionary, show us what he can do with a working class tract development, or downtown highrise, not a high-end home sitting in a beautiful unspoiled forest. "We noticed that the 8-lane hot asphalt track was a pathway for Australpithicus-Modernistas utes'. With great care we decided to site residences at maximum-allowable density on the tree-less former pasture and offered four (hooray!) plans to choose from in this 600 unit subdivision - no two alike next to each other! Television crews will be here any day to hear me talk about 'principles of design". Roll eyes.
These people are visionaries, their vision is for a time where wars, diseases and famines hit the rest of the world they stay safe and enjoy what this planet has to offer!!! They don't give a shit about us, or let's say they're looking forward for the time when we kill each other and eventually vanish

Sometimes simplicity is a genius, or there is a genius behind simplicity. Thank you thank you .
I learned so much with Glenn, have no words for his knowledge. He is the greatest living architect!

One needs to be at peace with nature and its sounds. Then residing in this house will be a beautiful experience.

Not only a great architect but a great teacher.
In Australia. However, I would be concerned about the bushfire danger. House is beautiful.

Hope he will have many followers! The biggest green architect of all time!
Speechless. Lot to learn...
One of the masters! Thank you
Great teacher also! Very deep and emotional way of talking and explaining. A proper magical teacher!
Good Architecture, Good Film Making.
I could listen to those whipbirds all day.
Thanks great documentall and arquitecture class. Muchas Gracias.

just awesome and the sounds
Right! I was thinking it would be a lovely place to take a nap in🙇🏾♀️😄
the mind of this man, wow it is fascinating to listen to his thinking
This is so beautiful, Aureliano!
Your philosophy on life and architecture is inspiring. Thank you for making this video.
This video cured my insomnia!
I so need to be here, ASAP!!!!!! 🤗😩
There is a very big difference between simplicity and simplistic.
Brother.. I totally agree!!

Just fantastic!
Such a beautiful and useful project
Incredibly film and architecture. I’ll send it to muy students in Barcelona
the spirit of the place!
this video always remins me why i decide to become into an architect. there is so many things to do, but just so many of these things really matter.
Great spirits for sure!
He is the best of the best. I meant he is among the top in the Pritzker winners, what a genius . Had the experience staying i na home from him in the Great ocean road
20:00 .... the essence of what's necessary ... an *architecture of necessity*
it's about structure ... it's about materials ... it's about how you put them together ... it's about space ... it's about life ...
its about really important issues for the human spirit to be able to appreciate nature ...
to feel qualities of nature ... breathe up the importance of nature to our health ... to our intelligence
to the importance of a child ...
these are really important issues for a species
this is actually essential stuff
I'm interested in what is essential and out of essential
I'd love to think that you structure the junction of the
*poetic and the rational*
they must come together not separately, *must be together* ...
.
MrPelikan500 just lovely and powerful
We should take more advice from people who never invented the wheel. They are so profoundly wise.
To be intuned with elements of natural site undisturbed and disturbered -still balanced in all.

This is what architecture is about
Aureliano,
I would like you know the photographer “ Mario Algaze “ , He and I admire your work.
Saludos Tropicales. 🌴😊
I liked the video before it had even begun.
Thank you!
Brilliant
Where, sir, are the builder in that orchestra?
Thank you for this. I have added it to a playlist ~ #Architecture + #Design. Wonderful message. #Belonging is so key.
Maestro!
There is no need to express the excuisite manner in which this has been filmed. BETWEEN THESE ROCKS.
jenius. thank uu!
Could that be possible to have the contract details of the designer? I am intended to build my new house in my acreage in QLD. Try to preserve more natural habitats for local animals and less damage to the environment. Thank you.
Hopefully we can and will see indigenous people as essential a part of the landscape as we seem to treasure and glorify other parts of the landscape.
Awesome work, Aureliano and wish to collaborate with you in the future! - GMMC 2019 😊

I Am Seeking A Great Australian Architect
This Is Not One
Someone has never heard of bushfires.
sorry to say, but I am not feeling this design. Seems very intrusive and not in harmony with its environment

last of the true architects these days it’s all just a show from all the clowns aka starchitects.
What twaddle. The man was a promethean and a blight on Australia.
if you have nothing good to say, simply go fuck yourself.
"Promethean: daringly original or creative." Doesn't sound too bad.

This architecture doesn't seem to be inspired by nature.
inspired by nature doesn’t mean made out of timber.

Too ugly and too confining.
