of turning his sensitivity to the environment and to locality into forthright, totally honest, non-showy works of art." In 2009 Murcutt won the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal. Murcutt currently lectures and teaches architectural studies as a professor at the UNSW Faculty of Built Environment. One of Murcutt's most recent projects is a mosque, the Australian Islamic Centre, in the Melbourne suburb of Newport. In 2016, the mosque became the focus of a critically acclaimed documentary, “Glenn Murcutt: Spirit of Place”, by renowned filmmaker Catherine Hunter. The film documents the growing acceptance of Murcutt’s strikingly contemporary design, weaving into the narrative the stories of his famous domestic commissions, interviews with those involved, and an intimate biography of his life. Hunter has said about Murcutt: "He gives everything, he can’t help himself. He’s unstoppable, he’s this force. Long before we started talking about things such as sustainability, Glenn was practicing those things." Glenn Murcutt's latest completed project is a new permanent sound installation space, the Cobar Sound Chapel in Cobar NSW, together with composer Georges Lentz. It was officially opened on April 2, 2022. A portrait of Murcutt by Fiona Lowry was a finalist in the 2022 Archibald Prize. Murcutt's son Nicholas (1964–2011) was also a practicing architect.
