A COMPASSIONATE agent for change who reshaped the Australian suburb with his project houses, townhouses and cluster developments, dies at 91.

His work is as relevant today as it was when he started working with Merchant Builders in 1965 – he will be remembered as a formidable advocate, mentor and caretaker of our environment through a portfolio of projects that demonstrate architecture’s responsive and fluctuating relationship with landscape, politics, culture, and the environment.
