Without exception the feedback from Peter Zumthor's lectures that were held in Sydney on 5 September and in Melbourne on 7 September 2004 has been extremely positive. Setting the tone of the responses were quotes like these:
"Last night's talk was simply fantastic... To find that Zumthor is a man with the modesty, compassion, sense of humour and cultural depth displayed last night was huge bonus!"
- Gerry Rihs in Sydney
and
"The Peter Zumthor lecture was great, really great. He is an inspirational speaker and you guys did very well in bringing him here."
- Warwick Mihaly in Melbourne
