Glenn-Murcutt---Spirit-of-Place,--Mosque-construction-Tobias

Glenn Murcutt: Spirit of Place explores the life and art of Australia’s most famous living architect. With a bevy of international awards, including the prestigious Pritzker Prize, Murcutt has put Australian architecture on the map. Yet, by choice, he has never built outside his own country. Murcutt’s focus instead has been the creation of energy-efficient masterpieces perfectly suited to their environment, and his breakthrough designs have influenced architects around the world. This documentary follows Glenn Murcutt, now 80 years old, as he designs his most ambitious project to date—a mosque for an Islamic community in Melbourne.
