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 Lindsay and Kerry Clare.
Lindsay and Kerry Clare are partners in life and in architecture - having both worked with the acclaimed, but unconventional, Queensland architect Gabriel Poole.
Jointly awarded the Gold Medal for Architecture in 2010, Lindsay and Kerry Clare are renowned for the diversity of their practice and portfolio. Initially coming to prominence through modest, climate-adapted single homes, the couple explain the design principles behind the Cotton Tree housing project that propelled them into multi-dwelling housing - an interest that continues today in the form of their own home on Queensland's Gold Coast where four dwellings on 800m2 exemplifies the very best of multi-generational housing.
Lindsay and Kerry Clare have also moved easily between scales of practice; having evolved firstly from small to medium practice, then the rare leap to a joint role leading design within the NSW Government Architect's office before scaling up once again to a leadership role in transforming the Sydney practice, Travis McEwen to the renowned large practice: Architectus.
Throughout, Lindsay and Kerry Clare have practiced, advised government and taught at the University of Newcastle and more recently, Bond University on the Gold Coast.
