The eighth annual Glenn Murcutt International Architecture Master Class
will be held in Australia, starting Saturday 5 July and finishing Saturday
19 July 2008.
Glenn Murcutt will lead the Master Class which will again be located at,
what has been called his 'Masterwork', the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education
Centre, Riversdale, on the banks of the beautiful Shoalhaven River south
of Sydney (completed 1999), followed by a week at the University of Sydney
Faculty of Architecture.
Glenn Murcutt (2002 Pritzker Prize Laureate, RAIA Gold Medallist 1997)
personally tutors throughout the program and will be joined by his great
friend seminal Australian architect and outstanding teacher Richard Leplastrier
(2004 Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award Finland, RAIA Gold Medallist
1999) and by Peter Stutchbury (RAIA National Architecture Awards, published
in GA House, Abitare, Phaidon World Atlas, etc). Guest tutor will again
be University of Queensland Professor Brit Andresen (first woman RAIA
Gold Medallist 2002, Phaidon World Atlas, 10X10, etc). Master Class convener
is Lindsay Johnston, former Dean of Architecture at the University of
Newcastle, Australia.
The Master Class is a studio based program undertaking a design project
centred on the landscape at Riversdale addressing issues of cultural and
environmental sustainability and culminating in a design presentation
at the end of the second week. The program includes lectures, field trips
and visits to houses by Glenn Murcutt and the other tutors.
Applications are invited from qualified architects, academics, postgraduates
and senior architecture students only 32 places available.
Staying in Riversdale at the Arthur Boyd Centre, woken by sunlight, showering
while looking over the Shoalhaven River, weaving between the in and the
out furthered an understanding of Murcutt's approach to architecture and
the Australian landscape. Every few days there were pin-ups, which were
less critiques more appraisals that emphasised the potential of each project.
Visits to some key houses around coastal New South Wales showed the skill
of those teaching in reading a site, creating prospect, refuge and an
emotional response to place. Finally, living and working with others from
various parts of the globe offered an insight into different cultural
approaches to the environment. This diversity of people has created a
Master Class network around the world, ensuring that this approach to
architecture does not remain only in Australia. (Daniel Ryan, Ireland,
2007 Master Class)
