Abstract

Beyond the choice of one more star-chitect, architectural current scenery needs projectual references taken from professionals that maybe aren´t too much recognized because of the size of their opera, but their works show enough degree of reflection to be taken into account into architecture evolution. Glenn Murcutt´s choice not only fulfills this aim but his job was recognized with the award of Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2002. The aim in this article is non other than the offering a pattern and a way to formalize architecture in the antipodes through Murcutt’s ecological functionalism, based in the thoughts of this magnificent professional.
