Article Abstract:

Australian architect Glenn Murcutt feels his latest project, the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd education center in New South Wales, must reflect its geographical setting. Murcutt wants buildings to intrude as little on the landscape as possible, resisting the contemporary trend to prefabricate without attention to the requirements elicited from nature.
