This year’s AIA 2009 Gold Medal recipient is Australian Glenn Marcus Murcutt, Hon. FAIA, known worldwide for his projects that touch the soul of sustainable design. Murcutt will be awarded the Gold Medal on February 6 at the annual Accent on Architecture gala in Washington, D.C., and also has graciously agreed to take part in a public question-and-answer forum at the gala, to be conducted by Architectural Record Editor-in-Chief Robert A. Ivy, FAIA. So, the question to you is: If you could ask Murcutt anything about sustainability, what would you ask him?

keep it simple, as you have done...the ultimate compliment that matters cometh not from the architectural community but from the society.

Glenn, What do you think of EIFS products (i.e., Dryvit)? Are they immoral?!? :)

Should you have accepted the AIA gold metal? Why did you deserve that honor more than some American architect?

Mr. Murcutt,
What thoughts do you find running through your mind when you first analyze a site for a new project?

Glenn: When you and I worked together at Anchor Murray in Sydney in 1969, you borrowed my mechanical pencil. Can I get it back?
Oh, yeah, and congrats on the Gold Medal. Proud of ya, mate.
