375 Edinburgh Road, Castlecrag NSW 1968 - Hugh Buhrich
"I believe that Hugh August Buhrich's 375 Edinburgh Road Castlecrag (1968-1972) is the finest modern house in Australia. There are really no other contenders - unless one considers Hugh and Eva's first house (1939-49) just up the way at 315." (Peter Myers, in exhibition catalog of "House - Hugh Buhrich 1972" Garry Anderson Gallery, Sydney Australia 10 Sep. - 5 Oct. 1991)

"Architects generally are dour people. Since they're half professionals, half artists, neither side of them is ever entirely content." (Luscombe B, time_08.04.96)

"Through his father, Ozenfant met Auguste Perret, who in turn introduced him to the young Jeanneret. 'He'is a very curious bird,' Perret said, 'but he will interest you.' In his Memoirs, published in 1967, Ozenfant described, with a slight exaggeration, his influence on this curious Swiss bird, who had the profile of a crow (corbeau )."
(Charles Jencks 1973 "LC and the Tragic View ...")

"... This will require me to show you fragments of my own work, so that you must prepare now for a decent from the sublime to the, well, not so sublime. ..." (Henry Cobb, Harvard GSD Lecture 1985)
