5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have for anyone interested in our built environment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Houses: New South Wales 1974-84 Glenn Murcutt (Architecture in Detail) (Paperback)
This book is full of amazing and inspiring photography that is only surpassed by the author's exquisitely written essays. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in our built environment. Murcutt's ability to synthesize modern architecture with regional and environmental concerns is truly remarkable. His buildings contrast with nature in that the natural environment's raw and delicate attributes are enhanced through the comparison with the finished industrial character of his buldings. Murcutt, however, does not subvert nature to man because his buildings, with their reflective quality, depend upon the environment for their identity with facades that change with the time of day and the colors of the foliage. His buildings sit very lightly on their harsh yet delicate sites describing Murcutt's early concern for environmental preservation
