## Resource

Architect Peter McIntyre AO is known for his experimental approach and infectious enthusiasm. He’s received numerous awards, including the 1990 Gold Medal of the Australian Institute of Architects. Peter was still in his early twenties when he established his own practice and began designing major projects that would help shape the city of Melbourne. He counts architects Robin Boyd and Roy Grounds among his early mentors. In this episode, Katelin Butler, editorial director at Architecture Media, speaks with Peter about the increase in risk aversion, and whether it’s narrowing the potential of young architects – and architecture itself.Further Reading 2021 National Enduring Architecture Awardhttps://architectureau.com/articles/2021-national-enduring-architecture-award/ 25 years of Australian residential architecturehttps://architectureau.com/articles/houses-celebrates-100-issues/ Peter McIntyre Beaumaris house heritage listedhttps://architectureau.com/articles/peter-mcintyre-beaumaris-house-heritage-listed/
