- This is not only a beautiful film about an inspiring architect who has won many prizes including the most prestigious one, the Pritzker, but also a topical film, as it accompanies Murcutt's first big public commission, a Mosque for the Moslem community of Newport, Melbourne. Despite initial reservations against a modern building Murcutt establishes a very close personal relationship with the community and the project is entirely financed by its people's donations.
Glenn Murcutt says: "From the outset, it was understood that this mosque and associated future buildings had to address the traditions of Islamic orders but also it had to address the spirit of the local community. The mosque needed to embrace the Australian Community, to be inclusive and to respect people of all faiths."

Glenn Murcutt is a modernist, a naturalist, an environmentalist, a humanist, an economist and ecologist encompassing all of these distinguished qualities in his practice as a dedicated architect who works alone from concept to realization of his projects in his native Australia.
He has never built outside Australia as he believes one must understand a place intimately before good design is possible. He has no staff, no computer and no email. He insists good design comes from the hand, not the computer. He explains: "I still use pencil and paper for drawing because I really believe that it is integral to a way of thinking. I believe we don't create architecture; what we do is discover it. My view is that any architecture that exists or any architecture that has the potential to exist is there to be discovered."
Catherine Hunter's film does not only look at buildings from the past but also accompanies Murcutt on his most challenging project to date - a mosque for the Newport Islamic Community in Melbourne. We watch the community's growing acceptance as it becomes convinced by the design and just as importantly, by Murcutt's commitment to the project.

A brilliant sensitive architect who respects the land and culture. Excellent.
I have been a fan of Glenn's Architecture since I was a student. So glad to see his progression and that the world has recognized his sensitivity of design.
you an Architect?

This is a tribute to the trust of different cultures with a common goal, please may it be an example to the wider world, congratulations all
As I am watching this video, it got me thinking that creating a better plan involves more than just designing the building. To ensure success and passionate execution, it is essential to consider not only the architectural aspects but also the individuals requesting the project. People may have doubts and anxieties about the outcome, which is why, as an Architect, it becomes crucial to build trust and instill faith in their minds. Truly fascinating!!
I really loved this, it was amazing to see how despite different beliefs people can work together for a great contribution and how it can have despite the ups and downs and time delay a beautiful finish
What I really appreciate about hearing Glenn is that he always says "he's only 40 ". Thats so encouraging as a student

And...so we celebrate with Joy...completion and a good battle,
As we do, the year's end...and it's Beginnings,
We survived the dark, the doubt...the Unbelievable,
Our Approximatons...real quiet; nods it's head...
lt sleeps the sleep...
And dreams again and again of Paradise...
lt continues to wake to Every morning's First Light...it gathers it's Promises...and shares...
It's Vision of Hope...
What it could be like?
If only...if only...
Another step is taken..
Another risk is put into the Circle...
Some journeys are small...even wild sometimes...
An aroma of possibilities...soaks into the air of Tomorrow's landscape...just beyond...
'What if' is it's question...
'And then What..' is always the Answer.
Thanks for sharing...the journey...
