MurcuttFoundation

For 30 years, Catherine Hunter has followed and documented the work of celebrated architect Glenn Murcutt and collaborated on a number of film projects. 

Two films, The Cobar Sound Chapel and  Spirit of Place, show his humanity and skill in pursuit of an architectural vision that always seeks to respond to place and provide delight.

Murcutt’s extraordinary international reputation rests on the beauty and integrity of his buildings. With a swag of international awards (including the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 2002, the 1992 Alvar Aalto medal, and Japan’s Praemium Imperiale for architecture in 2021), Murcutt has literally put Australian architecture on the world map. Murcutt’s focus has been the creation of energy-efficient masterpieces perfectly suited to their environment and his breakthrough designs have influenced architects around the world.

There is one more film on Glenn Murcutt that is yet to be made.

One more that brings the story of this remarkable architect to a wider audience. 

One more that captures his reflections on both his personal and professional achievements, and loss.

Help us complete the first feature length film of this remarkable Australian architect in time to mark Glenn Murcutt's 90th birthday in 2026.

For every dollar pledged by you, the Murcutt Foundation will match dollar-for-dollar. 

Help us raise $30,000 for filming, editing and scripting!
