Glenn Murcutt: A Singular Architectural Practice by Haig Beck and Jackie Cooper (The Images Publishing Group 2002) is a comprehensive monograph of the Australian architect celebrating his Pritzker Architectural Prize of 2002 .
Glenn Murcutt’s powerful architectural poetic is most tellingly conveyed by the building lodged in the landscape; the building as line, holding the horizon and calibrating infinity; the building in submission – not subjugating the land; the building as an expression of ideology and rationalism; the building as embodiment of an existential contract of human freedom and responsibility, confronting the unavoidable destruction that accompanies human occupation.
