ARCHITECTURE Australia

Foreword by Glenn Murcutt. For over 200 years, Australia has been searching for its identity. This has led to Inappropriate European cultural values on a very different, very harsh, southern continent. This has led to a desperate need for an open, independent architecture. That need is answered by Glen Murcutt, and his development of a strong and attractive, yet practical, architectural form. He has achieved this through a close scrutiny of, and a great sensitivity for, Australian landscape and climate.
