Balancing excitement and the environment


Ekil Ronningsbaken, balancing artist, Trollstigen Lookout in Norway, designed by Reiulf Ramstad Arkitektur

The Blue Mountains Master Class 10-16 March 2012 with Arizona architect Rick Joy, Richard Leplastrier and Peter Stutchbury, which has attracted some really good quality architects from across Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Singapore, will address the potential for good sympathetic environmental design applied to key tourist lookouts in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. Inspired by the investment by the Norwegian government in the design and construction of a range of spectacular and beautiful architect designed lookouts at key tourism destinations in Norway, this initiative might stimulate thinking in Australia and stimulate action as part of the Tourism Australia ‘National Landscapes’ Program.

Extreme Stutchbury


Peter Stutchbury Architecture - now built December 2011, the winning entry in the 2008 Living Steel International Competition for Extreme Climate Housing in Cherepovets, Russia

Over 1000 architects entered the competition 'to create an energy efficient single-family home'. The design had not only to minimise climate change emissions but, given the location, stand up to extreme climatic conditions. Design by Peter Stutchbury with Richard Smith and Ann Bassett

"The location was almost the polar opposite of the Australian environment. Designing for our local environment is based on how you cool a building. In Cherepovets and the wider Russian extreme, it's just the opposite."

Peter Stutchbury tutors on Australian Master Classes with Glenn Murcutt and the new book on his work 'Under the Edge' is on sale.
