Glenn Murcutt Exhibition

At the risk of over-blogging a single subject (all too common on Design/Archi blogs) I’ve sourced and relayed from the depths of designboom images of an exhibition on Australian vernacular/nostalgic/romantic guru, Mr Glenn Murcutt. 

A self-proclaimed man-of-the-hand (to quote “I do not use a computer other than word processing and probably will never.”), this exhibition appears as a wonderful display of design-process and its relationship with an exquisitely crafted build-process adapted precisely to its environment.

….Unfortunately for those that aren’t actually in Tokyo between now and August 9, you’ll have to enjoy the images on the Gallery Ma (Tokyo) website.

One final quote from Glenn:

 

I have established a miniscule practice. I have no staff whatsoever. No secretary, no typist, no tea maker, no draftsperson, no computer operator and a body of clients waiting for work in the order of two years. 

 

The method of practice compliments the project.
