KW - Architecture, Modern KW - 20th century KW - Australia. KW - Architects N2 - "Through more than 500 projects, Glenn Murcutt-winner of the Pritzker Prize and the Alvar Aalto Medal-has demonstrated a very personal interpretation of modernist idiom that both respects the environment and embraces local tradition. In this program, Murcutt, author/architect Françoise Fromonot, and others speak on topics such as the architect's formative years; the transparency, luminosity, refined structural form, and exquisite detail that characterize his designs; and the challenges confronting urban and suburban development. Signature structures are featured throughout, including the Done House, the Kempsey Farmhouse, the Simpson-Lee House, the Magney Houses in Sydney and Bingie Bingie, the Pratt House, and the Marika-Alderton House."--Back cover ER -
