Australian Architect Glenn Murcutt has been awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal for 2009.
Murcutt has been recognised for his “ecologically responsive and socially responsible Modernist” approach. Despite working exclusively in Australia, the American Institute note the architect has had a “profound impact on Architecture throughout the world.”
“While some might characterise a single-continent geographic range of work as ‘regional,’ the effect of Mr. Murcutt’s is amplified by impassioned and extensive lectures and a commitment to teaching throughout the world,” says Tom Howorth chair of the AIA Committee on Design’s Gold Medal Committee.
Indesign congratulate Murcutt on his win and thank him for his outstanding contribution to the world of architecture and design.
