"With some thought, I believe that one can discover an architecture that responds to its place, culture and ecological demands, incorporating appropriate, responsible, technological solutions. To achieve this position, as designers we must not only consider what architecture is, but also ask what an appropriate and responsible architecture is for our culture, our time and our place." - Glenn Murcutt AO, Australian architect


Join us as we discover architecture that responds to its place, culture, and ecological demands. We share the work of Glenn Murcutt; hear from those who have worked, taught and learned from him, and gain insight into the mind of one of the world's most respected living architects.

    2025 Murcutt Symposium - Glenn Murcutt in closing
    Oct 3 2025

    The inaugural Murcutt Symposium was held in Sydney, with house tours, talks and social events spanning three days 11-13 September.

    The climax of the Symposium was an unscheduled, and very personal moment when Glenn Murcutt chose to acknowledge the distances travelled by so many and the passing of dear friends in recent weeks, and the support given to him by all those who attended this first ever Murcutt Symposium.

  • 2025 Murcutt Symposium - Catherine Hunter on Glenn Murcutt

    2025 Murcutt Symposium - Catherine Hunter on Glenn Murcutt
    Oct 3 2025

    The inaugural Murcutt Symposium was held this week in Sydney, with house tours, talks and social events spanning three days 11-13 September.

    Celebrated Australian documentary film maker, Catherine Hunter, has filmed Glenn Murcutt and his work for around 30 years. Two short films by Catherine on Murcutt's life and work have been aired to acclaim worldwide: Spirit of Place and the Cobar Sound Chapel. But Catherine's footage extends beyond these films at a time when funding for arts and cultural works is dwindling. At the close of Catherine Hunter's presentation, the Foundation announced a crowd funding campaign, to be matched by funding from the Foundation, to complete the work of 30 years and produce the definitive documentary on Glenn Murcutt: his life and works.
