Glenn Murcutt to design sixth MPavilion for Melbourne
Australian architect Glenn Murcutt has been appointed to design this year's MPavilion, an annual commission in Melbourne that follows the model of London's Serpentine Pavilion.
Murcutt, 82, will become the sixth designer of the temporary pavilion, which is installed every summer in Queen Victoria Gardens.
One of Australia's best-known architects and a Pritzker Prize winner, he is famed for projects including the Australian Islamic Centre in Melbourne, and the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre in Illaroo. He has also produced a number of highly acclaimed private residences, including Donaldson House.

MPavilion is funded by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, a charity led by businesswoman and philanthropist Naomi Milgrom. Milgrom said she chose Sydney-based Murcutt because "he's been at the forefront of contemporary architecture for decades, with groundbreaking designs that are sensitive to landscape and cross-cultural collaboration".
"Quintessentially Australian and ahead of his time, Glenn's thoughtfulness about people, place making and the environment continues to inspire us all," she said.

The first MPavilion was created in 2014 by another Australian architect, Melbourne-based Sean Godsell. Since then it has been designed by British architect Amanda Levete, Indian office Studio Mumbai, Dutch firm OMA and Spanish architect Carme Pinós.
