This is the second part of a conversation between Rick Leplastrier AO and Glenn Murcutt AO from 2014 at the University of Newcastle.It opens with Murcutt’s recollections of meeting famed Spanish architect Jose Coderch in Barcelona in 1973 as part of a travelling scholarship; and Cordech’s famous invocation of effort, love and suffering in architecture. We’re also taken to the moment Rick meets the client for what would become one of his most celebrated projects; the Palm Garden House. And Murcutt shares with us how his early practice specialising in modest alterations and additions grew to produce some of his most well known new works like the Marie Short House, and the house at Mount Irvine - all achieved as a sole practitioner seeking to build, as he says, a vocabulary of his work.We hear again about working with materials, the joy of detailing well….and why it's important to always do the ordinary extraordinarily well.
