'Aware of the architect's declining influence on architecture Jorn Utzon felt that his "Logbook" series would be of value to people interested in the architect's role and its importance in society. Based on his own experience and a carefully edited selection of drawings from his archives, the Logbooks offer unique access to the process of working out architecture in the interest of the wellbeing of people' - Torsten Blondal. Completed in 1982, the Kuwait National Assembly remains one of the outstanding modern buildings completed in the Middle East by a European architect. A tour de force of precast concrete construction, Jorn Utzon's design also represents the culmination of themes that had preoccupied him throughout his work, notably ways of combining ideas derived from traditional cultures with the 'additive' principles of cellular growth found in nature. This beautifully produced book, the latest addition to Edition Blondal's acclaimed "Utzon Logbook" series, was developed in close collaboration with Utzon and presents an exceptionally comprehensive account of the Kuwait project through photographs, original drawings and the recollections of key contributors - Utzon's staff, consulting engineers and contractor, and an extended interview with Utzon himself.

Building a masterpiece explores some of the untold chapters in the long history of the Opera House's gestation, development and completion -- of individuals whose careers were made or broken by the Opera House, the companies whose reputations were secured through their association with the building, and the pioneering construction methods, innovative technologies and methodologies developed to meet the demands of its unprecedented design and challenging construction. The workers who built the building, the politicians, architects and members of the public who championed it and its often beleaguered architect are discussed as is its current world status as a symbol of Australia.To coincide with the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Opera House, this new edition of Building a Masterpiece will include a new chapter on another little known and much misunderstood story: the architect who took over from Utzon and completed the project.

An introduction to architectural thought, this text is a thorough and accessible discussion in search of the principles of the design process. Documenting the non-verbal processes and decisions that architects and designers make is a difficult task, but one that is important when trying to understand the development of architectural design through the ages. Michael Brawne uses his experience as a practicing architect, academic and educator to provide an overview of the subject. By looking at the practices and buildings of architects past and present he incorporates history and philosophy in the search for a theory of design.

Jorn Utzon's international reputation is based on imaginative monumental buildings like the Sydney Opera House and the Kuwait Parliament Building, yet his domestic architecture also forms an important part of his work. The Fredensborg estate is still the finest postwar housing in Denmark--both architecturally and in human terms. From an early age Utzon was interested in the relationship between human beings and their environment--houses, gardens and the immediate neighbourhood. Drawing upon the vernacular architecture of southern Europe, North Africa, China and his native Denmark, he built two extraordinary groups of courtyard houses: the Kingo houses in Helsingor (1956-60) and the houses in Fredensborg (1962/63). Courtyard houses offer maximum privacy and protection from a windy climate. When combined with a community centre, as at Fredensborg, they satisfy the human need not only for privacy but also for fellowship. The houses in Fredensborg were built as attractive retirement homes for Danish citizens who had spent long periods abroad. The charming sloping site is surrounded by woods and fields and forms a beautiful background to the exuberant range of cubic buildings, which are grouped like the fingers of a hand. Built in yellow brick, with stepped gables and powerful chimneys, each of the 77 houses is strongly individual and bears the personal stamp of the occupants.

The story of a rock and roll fun park, much loved by the famous and not-so-famous, told by those who were there, which is tricky because they partied non-stop, rarely slept and brutalised their brain cells. From Bondi Beach to Kings Cross and the CBD there was just too much music to play or hear, too much excess to exceed and too much indulgence to overindulge in. But too much was never enough, and the Bondi Lifesaver was their clubhouse.

During the 1930s and the postwar period, Arne Korsmo was the main link to architectural trends outside of Norway. It was through his activity as a creative architect, designer, and teacher that new aesthetic concepts were introduced in Norway. This book encompasses quotations from his articles and lectures, and photographs and drawings of his work, which allow the reader an intimate knowledge of this man's influential art. His sensitivity to his surroundings, however, was not limited to architecture--it permeated all of his career. In this bilingual edition the reader has access to the beauty of Korsmo's vision.

This book introduces and defines the burgeoning concepts of transculturalism and essentialism and how they relate to one another, as articulated with reference to the work of Jørn Utzon. It introduces critical contemporary perspectives of the design thinking and career of this renowned Danish architect, internationally recognised for his competition-winning, iconic design for the Sydney Opera House – an outstanding exemplar of transcultural essentialism in architecture. Transcultural essentialism is analysed through the lens of critical regionalism and architectural phenomenology, with emphasis on the sense of place and tectonics in Utzon’s architectural works. It provides a new understanding of the Danish architect as an early proponent of a still emergent and increasingly relevant direction in architecture. Going beyond biographical studies, it presents a more comprehensive understanding of the broad range of transcultural influences that formed his thinking. The volume includes numerous previously unpublished photographs, drawings, and interviews with Utzon’s family members, former students, and colleagues, offering a significant contribution to the existing body of knowledge for any architecture scholar interested in Utzon’s work and design principles. The book also comprises a Foreword by eminent architecture theorist Juhani Pallasmaa in which he provides insights into the wider architectural and cultural context of Utzon’s worldview.
