Catherine Hunter’s outstanding 2017 documentary Glenn Murcutt: Spirit of Place explores the life and work of Australia’s most famous living architect. Glenn’s extraordinary international reputation rests on the beauty and integrity of his buildings. With a swag of awards, including the prestigious Pritzker Prize, he has put Australian architecture on the map. By choice, he has never built outside of his own country. This is because he believes one must understand a place intimately before good design is possible. He has no staff, no computer and no email. Glenn insists good design comes from the hand not the computer.

Glenn allowed documentary filmmaker Catherine to follow him as he embarked on his most challenging project to date, a mosque for the Newport Islamic community in Melbourne in collaboration with architect Hakan Elevli. Get cosy with us and learn more about Glenn’s practice with this free film screening. The Kiosk will be open, serving snacks and refreshments.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
