Murcutt, Glenn (Marcus)
(b London, 25 July 1936). Australian architect. He spent his childhood on the Upper Watut in the Morobe district of New Guinea and this experience shaped not only his life but to a marked degree his architecture. He studied architecture at the University of New South Wales, Sydney (1956–61); after spending two years in Europe (1962–4) he was apprenticed to various offices in the Sydney area, including Ancher, Mortlock, Murray & Woolley. Early in his life, his thought and outlook were also influenced by his father who introduced him to the architecture of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and to the ideas of Henry David Thoreau. In 1970 he established a practice in Mosman, a suburb of Sydney, which was devoted mainly to private houses.
