Pritzker Prize-winning architect Glenn Murcutt is designing this year's MPavilion. Here's a look at seven of his most significant projects.
Murcutt is one of Australia's best-known architects, and the only Australian winner of the prestigious Pritzker Prize, which he won in 2002 in recognition of his innovative and environmentally sensitive buildings.
Murcutt, who was a born in London in 1936 before moving to Sydney with his parents at the age of five, established his small practice in 1970. He built his reputation creating a succession of sustainable houses across Australia, before building cultural buildings including the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre near Sydney and the Australian Islamic Centre.
"Glenn Murcutt is a modernist, a naturalist, an environmentalist, a humanist, an economist and ecologist encompassing all of these distinguished qualities in his practice as a dedicated architect who works alone from concept to realisation of his projects in his native Australia," said his Pritzker Prize citation. He will become the sixth designer of the temporary MPavilion, which will be installed in Melbourne's Queen Victoria Gardens this summer.
