===Bio===

Australian architect Glenn Murcutt has been awarded the 26th annual Pritzker Prize. He is internationally known for environmentally sensitive modernist houses that respond to their climate and surroundings in the vast Australian landscape.

Murcutt’s general principles as set forth in the gloss at the beginning of this essay surely express more adequately than any sequential account of a single project, the fundamentally ethical intention sustaining his architecture. Designing with nature, to paraphrase Ian McCarg, is not a mere slogan with Murcutt, and in all of his works he has remained extremely aware of the way in which every intervention impacts the ecosystem in which one is working, from the drainage of storm water to the modification of native vegetation, from the erosion of soil to the embodiment of energy in all its hidden aspects. To this end, he has habitually adopted a series of strategies to mitigate this impact both within and without the confines of his architecture; from the provision of southern thermal walls to ward off the winter cold, to the opening of the structure to the north to admit the winter sun; from the provision of storage tanks to collect rainwater to the manipulable screening of windows that open onto the landscape, from the installation of vents and fans to facilitate cross ventilation to paving walkways in dark gray tiles that absorb the heat during the day and release it at night. This is a didactic, proto-ecological building culture that in no way inhibits the poetic potential of the field. On the contrary, it enhances it by deepening its rapport with nature. It is this finally that bestows on Murcutt’s work a relevance for world architecture as a whole and it is also this that assures the profundity and promise of his approach in terms of its further development.
