Richard Leplastrier: Framing The View
Synopsis
Richard Leplastrier is regarded as one of Australia’s finest architects, yet he’s anything but a household name. Shunning the limelight, he tucks himself away in his one-room home in a remote estuary north of Sydney only reached by boat.
Leplastrier is the architect’s architect, refusing to become a ‘starchitect’. And while he designs beautifully crafted houses for his clients, his own lifestyle is closer to camping.
The documentary follows the very private but charismatic Leplastrier as he designs a house in at Blackheath that epitomises what he has learnt over 50 years. It looks at the influence of his mentors — Jorn Utzon (Danish architect of the Sydney Opera House), Australian artist Lloyd Rees and Japanese architecture professor Masuda Tomoya.
