"With some thought, I believe that one can discover an architecture that responds to its place, culture and ecological demands, incorporating appropriate, responsible, technological solutions. To achieve this position, as designers we must not only consider what architecture is, but also ask what an appropriate and responsible architecture is for our culture, our time and our place." - Glenn Murcutt AO, Australian architect
Join us as we discover architecture that responds to its place, culture, and ecological demands. We share the work of Glenn Murcutt; hear from those who have worked, taught and learned from him, and gain insight into the mind of one of the world's most respected living architects.

The inaugural Murcutt Symposium was held in Sydney, with house tours, talks and social events spanning three days 11-13 September. On Saturday 13 September we experienced the irrepressible energy of Dr Piers Taylor - founder of the UK's Invisible Studio and alumni of the 2001 Murcutt Masterclass.
Piers opened his keynote address by announcing "I am hardly an architect...I have never had a roadmap and I haven't really had a career"! In a talk titled 'Muddling On', Piers' work shares the focus on learning through making and an intense study of local conditions as the driver for design decisions. Throughout Piers' work in teaching and practice is a endless curiosity that generates an architecture of invention and testing; aiming to reduce waste in the fabrication phase so that form is often a result of this search, and not wilful shape-making.
