• The Masters Project - Peter Stutchbury

  For more than 20 years, the Glenn Murcutt Masterclass has welcomed architects from around the world to learn from the best.In this series, we continue the search for what mastery really means.We meet some of the most awarded architects and hear what shaped them, as they reveal what decades have distilled.Welcome to the Masters Project - where we ask: What does it really take to master architecture?In this episode, we meet Peter Stutchbury.Stutchbury describes the landscape of the Australian bush, and travel in Papua New Guinea where he lived and worked with the people of the highlands and witnessed the building and rituals of the traditional long house as two important experiences that shaped his early life, and that influence his work today. Reading the land and its weather patterns were as evident to a young Peter Stutchbury when mustering sheep, or alone on a surfboard observing the swell, wave patterns and wind.Awarded the Gold Medal for Architecture in 2015, this acclaimed architect only stumbled on architecture after initially enrolling in Commerce at UNSW. In this episode, Peter Stutchbury shares the value of finding mentorship from teacher and friend, Richard Leplastrier AO, and guidance from Uncle Max Dulumunmun Harrison that have together influenced an approach to the land, to architecture, and to a quiet reconciliation with culture indigenous to place.This podcast was made possible with support from the Alastair Swayn Foundation.

• The Masters Project - Brit Andresen

  For more than 20 years, the Glenn Murcutt Masterclass has welcomed architects from around the world to learn from the best.In this series, we continue the search for what mastery really means.We meet some of the most awarded architects and hear what shaped them, as they reveal what decades have distilled.Welcome to the Masters Project - where we ask: What does it really take to master architecture?In this episode, we meet Brit Andresen.The first female recipient of the Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal for architecture in 2002, Brit Andresen has enjoyed a stellar career spanning the worlds of practice, research and teaching in Australia, England, Norway, Denmark and The Netherlands. Part of that story is one shared with life partner and architect Peter O'Gorman with whom she formed the celebrated practice: Andresen O'Gorman.In this episode, Brit shares her deep knowledge of timber construction gained from study of the medieval church architecture of Norway's Stave Churches, and brought to life in her adopted home of Queensland in a number of acclaimed houses intended to put into practice aspects of research and teaching, because one of Brit's abiding interests lies in different kinds of teaching and learning, and how pedagogical models in architecture schools can help in an increasingly digital age to encourage exploration of ideas and avoid the rush to an answer.

Instead, Richard Johnson shares his ongoing search for a structure and 'inevitability' in architecture. We hear of the architects and works from around the world that helped shape his own awarded portfolio and influence his perspective on architecture; it's many challenges and numerous joys.Importantly, Richard Johnson sets out a remarkable inventory of lessons gained over his years of practice that are invaluable for those studying or practicing architecture today.
