Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Recipient of the 2002 Pritzker Architectural Prize, Murcutt is noted as Australia's chief exponent of sustainable and site-sensitive buildings. Working alone, as the title suggests, he created an original Australian architecture, characterized by the quality of the outback landscape. His buildings have evolved from the work of Mies van der Rohe (e.g., Mies's Crown Hall at the Illinois Institute of Technology), as seen in structures dating from the Laurie Short House of 1973 to the more expressive Magney House of 1985. Written by architecture critics Haig Beck and Jackie Cooper and divided into three sections-theory, practice, and technique-the volume begins with a series of brief essays, including one by Murcutt himself, on the technical, material, and aesthetic aspects of the work; oddly, none of these essays acknowledges the architect's obvious debt in his early work to Mies. In the middle section, 23 designs, illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, are presented with brief, sometimes overly promotional descriptions and more insightful analyses by the architect. In the final section, a series of highly informative sketches, drawings, and construction details documents each of the same designs. Complementing E.M. Farrelly's more concise but ultimately more satisfying Three Houses: Glenn Murcutt, this volume is recommended for larger architecture collections.

Kurzbeschreibung
Glenn Murcutt is one of the world's most celebrated living architects, and is widely hailed as Australia's architect laureate. He was awarded the Pritzker Prize in May 2002, and is one of only seven recipients of the prestigious Alvar Aalto Medal. This astounding volume is the most up-to-date book on Murcutt's work. Full-colour photography, much of it supplied from the architect's own private collection, and a comprehensive selection of drawings and concept sketches, are complemented by Glenn's own notes, and the insightful commentary of internationally recognised architectural editors, Professor Haig Beck and Jackie Cooper. This book explores buildings and projects drawn from a wide variety of contexts: coastal, mountainous, tropical and desert, not to mention urban. Glenn Murcutt has also been awarded the Thomas Jefferson Medal for Architecture, the Kenneth F. Brown International Award for Architectural Culture in the Asia Pacific region, and was recently awarded an International Honorary Fellowship from the Royal Institute of Canadian Architects.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"A singular architectural practice" erlaubt dem Leser einen ungewöhnlich tiefen und vielschichtigen Einblick in das Schaffen eines Architekten. Im ersten (und umfangreichsten) Teil des Buches werden die einzelnen Werke in einer ausgeglichenen Mischung von -zum Teil sehr schönen- Photos und Skizzen vorgestellt. Das Besondere: Zusätzlich zum Text der Autoren Beck und Cooper gibt es zu jedem Projekt einen Kurzaufsatz von Glenn Murcutt, in dem er näher auf die jeweiligen Besonderheiten, Intentionen etc. eingeht. Im zweiten Teil des Buches werden die Pläne (auf über 60 Seiten!) zu den einzelnen Projekten vorgestellt. Hier ist vor allem Bemerkenswert, dass es sich um für Bücher ungewöhnlich genaue Pläne und zahlreiche Details und Detailschnitte handelt. Ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch, das nur deshalb keine 5 Sterne bekommt, weil sich die Begleittexte zu den Projekten teilweise zu sehr an den Aufsätzen Murcutts orientieren und dadurch gewisse Wiederholungen entstehen. (Trotzdem absolut kein Grund das Buch nicht zu kaufen).

Finally, A Good Murcutt Book
8. März 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have been into Murcutt's work for a few years now, but I have been disappointed by the lack of good books on his work. Until now, the best book around was Phaidon's '3 houses'. The only projects I have been able to see have been single family houses in the middle of the australian brush--so it was pretty cool to see this book with houses (or at least A house) in an urban area as well as larger commercial type buildings (like the education center).
As far as I know, all of his projects are shown in the book--built and unbuilt in great detail. The first 30 pages or so of the book is a collection of essays by both the authors and Murcutt. Then the book gets into his projects chronilogically--each with photographs, sketches and drawings.
The last part of the book is a collection of 'blue-print' drawings showing the plans and more importantly the construction details of all his buildings--all in pretty good detail showing dimensions and materials.
Im stingy with my book money--but I definately feel like I got my money's worth outta this one.

Murcutt: an Engineer's Perspective
15. August 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This Review is not only an Engineer's perspective of Murcutt - it's also, in a way, a definitive statement that Murcutt has the perspective required of an Engineer.
As a marine engineer with a keen professional and personal involvement with architecture, I have grown to respect Glenn Murcutt deeply. This book expresses much of what could be said about him, about his work, his principles and his motivation.
I have been most impressed by the interpretation of Murcutt's architecture by the engineers associated with him, as well as the fruit borne in the lives of younger architects who have studied under his guidance, and have continued to co-labour with him in Australia today. If only it were so all over the world!
The influence of Murcutt in our day must surely rank with that of Aalto during the past century.
Inspired and highly recommended reading and study for all students of architecture, regional modernism and vernacular materials, as well as engineers with a passion for design.

Architect's text enjoyable to read
15. November 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This basically documents the architect's work but is not a great book. The photos, although good, are not top quality. There are lots of construction drawings, in a separate section (forcing a lot of flipping back and forth, BTW), but they were not redone for the book, are tiny reproductions of the originals, so not too readable. You usually at least get a floor plan, and some rough sketches in the text section, but the point of the book is not to explain how these buildings are built.
The worst aspect is the commentary by the two authors, mere filler material. The best are the words of the architect himself, who can offer background on all his projects, and who comes across as very sincere.
