Glenn Murcutt ruled out for Australia's new Venice pavilion

Pritzker Prize-winning architect Glenn Murcutt has been ruled out of contention for Australia's new Venice Biennale pavilion because he doesn't have previous experience with similar cultural projects. Spokesperson Simon Mordant, who is coordinating the project, says: "This has to start with the credentials and go on to the design, not the other way around."
