You can see a four minute video clip of Glenn Murcutt leading the annual Murcutt International Architecture Master Class at his 'Master Work', the Boyd Centre south of Sydney. See - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=TkvtyUVW3jc
he's not an AIA member! doy!!!
but seriously, half of the last 10 have been awarded to duds:
meier
graves
legorreta
calatrava
pelli
those guys are NOT in the same category as:
E. Fay Jones
Louis I. Kahn
R.B. Fuller
Marcel Breuer
Kenzo Tange
Walter Gropius
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Le Corbusier
Eero Saarinen
Alvar Aalto
Pier Luigi Nervi
Auguste Perret
etc.
I dont think he's a dud....but yeah not quite the sweeping influence of corb, gropius, aalto, etc.
who would other people have picked?
i'm not saying he's a dud by any means.
i'm just saying that 5 of the last 10 awardees aren't on the level as kahn, corb, etc.
He's master enough to have his own master class.
that looks amazing...
