For more than 20 years, the Glenn Murcutt Masterclass has welcomed architects from around the world to learn from the best.
In this series, we continue the search for what mastery really means.
We meet some of the most awarded architects and hear what shaped them, as they reveal what decades have distilled.
Welcome to the Masters Project - where we ask: What does it really take to master architecture?
In this episode, we meet Richard Johnson MBE AO.
We hear of the duality of city and country that has been a part of Richard Johnson's life since early days, and how this highly regarded architect - and recipient of the Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal for architecture in 2008 - has never really trusted his own intuition. Instead, Richard Johnson shares his ongoing search for a structure and 'inevitability' in architecture. We hear of the architects and works from around the world that helped shape his own awarded portfolio and influence his perspective on architecture; it's many challenges and numerous joys.
Importantly, Richard Johnson sets out a remarkable inventory of lessons gained over his years of practice that are invaluable for those studying or practicing architecture today.
