Items related to Three Houses: Glenn Murcutt (Architecture in Detail)
Synopsis
Murcutt's houses bring together the minimalist Miesian pavilion with the primitive hut to produce a new, striking and peculiarly Australian synthesis. The three houses covered in this volume chart the development of his unique style. The Marie Short House, with its shed-like appearance, inaugurated the architect's primitive treatment of form. Despite its tough exterior, the timber-lined interior of the building is a masterpiece of delicacy and warmth. The Ball-Eastaway House, designed for two artists as a dual gallery and dwelling place, takes the primitive aesthetic further and is constructed entirely from corrugated iron. The definition of the interior spaces in this building invites comparison with Mies van der Rohe's famous Barcelona Pavilion. Magney House with its expressive wave-shaped metal roof marks a new level of confidence and maturity. All three houses demonstrate an alliance between refinement and primitiveness that is characteristic of Murcutt's work.

Paperback. Condition: Gut. Pages unnumbered. Good condition. -- Glenn Murcutt's houses bring the minimalist Miesian pavilion and the primitive hut into a new and peculiarly Australian synthesis. The three houses covered in this volume chart the development of his architectural thought. The Marie Short house, with its shed-like appearance, is an early instance of Murcutt's interest in deceptively 'primitive' form. Despite its tough exterior, the timber-lined interior of the building is a masterpiece of delicacy and warmth. The Ball-Eastaway house, designed for two artists as a gallery and dwelling, develops this sophistico-primitive aesthetic further. Clad entirely in corrugated steel, the building stands like a spaceship in the sparse bush, its smooth white interior an absolute refuge from the baked rock plateau on which it has landed. The Magney house, with its airy, expressionistic roof, marks a new level of confidence and maturity. All three houses demonstrate an alliance between the primitive and the refined that is characteristic of Murcutt's work. ISBN 0714828750 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
