- more on one of my favorite topics: simplicity! here is another clip of glenn murcutt! the 2002 pritzker winning architect is a solo practitioner, without a secretary and without a phone. he keeps things simple by prioritizing the projects main functions: controlling air movement, studying the suns movement and optimizing the connection between the person and place in the environment. he uses simplicity as a guise for complexity within the structure.
