No one seems to have noticed the profound rootedness of the genius of Jørn Utzon (b. 1918), architect of the magnificent, exuberant, curvilinear sections of the Sydney Opera House, Silkeborg Art Museum, and Bagsvaerd Church, in the work of that most restrained of architects, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). I trace, through this unlikeliest of confluences, the genesis in Mies's work of Utzon's three most important early, realized works: his first and own house of Hellebæk (Denmark, 1950-52), the House for Svend Middelboe (Holte, Denmark, 1953), and the sixty-three dwelling Kingohusene (Kingo, Denmark, 1956-60). The pedagogical value of this study is, I hope, substantial. Looking at exactly how the perfectly orthogonal Hus Utzon is essential to his great later designs for Sydney, Silkeborg, Bagsvaerd, and Kuwait tells us much about the nature and method of creative work. Utzon never worked for Mies, met him briefly twice, and never admits to other than a very limited presence of Mies in his own architecture. Nonetheless, Utzon's own house at Hellebæk is relentless effort to resurrect and render habitable Mies's Barcelona Pavilion through the obsessive repetition of its proportional scheme, overall form, and consequent shapes, all realized by way of close interpretation of Mies's European villas. Hus Middelboe, by contrast, is a violent opposition to Mies's Farnsworth House, but one so rigorous in its violence that Utzon develops a powerful architectural aesthetic. The Kingohusene's break with Mies is far more radical, involving play and relation. It realizes Mies's discarded early themes for the Weissenhofseidlung housing exhibit, dances with the arrangement of Mies's Lafayette Park housing and, provoked by the exquisitely refined jewel box of Mies's unrealized 1931 Row House, details advances and variations that render this last merely prototype. What Utzon builds through 1956 in response to Mies extends into the designs for the Sydney Opera House, particularly in Utzon's reconception of Alvar Aalto's Library of Viipuri: His approach evolves from a means of generating form to the far more valuable result of generating method. Utzon next applies his method to engage Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier All work becomes fair game for contention and play, and no architect is more bent than Utzon on reconceiving the canon. For balance I include a thorough survey of Utzon's published work, presenting it as I think he would have us understand it, a survey of critics who write on Utzon, and a three hundred entry annotated bibliography detailing these. It is his work in response to Mies that constitutes Utzon's primary education.

- The first monograph by Kim Utzon, the son of Pritzker Prize-winning Danish architect Jørn Utzon - Features a selection of twenty-five built and unbuilt institutional, commercial and residential projects developed throughout a thirty-five year practice - Provides a creative, spiritual and artistic overview of Kim Utzon's architectural journey, developed in partnership with longtime collaborator Torben Eskerod, an award-winning Danish photographer - The introduction by the art, architecture and design critic Aaron Betsky offers a comprehensive analysis of Utzon's architectural approach and achievements - Includes a foreword by the internationally renowned curator, critic and photography historian Gabriel Bauret in which he meditates on the connection between joy and the architectural experience while architecture writer James Moore McCown explores Kim Utzon Arkitekten's richly layered work in a wide-ranging interview that covers the firm's history from its founding to the present day. Kim Utzon can do without the drama. The white worlds he has created in Denmark and southern Sweden over the last few decades are stage sets for the ordered appearance of rational and reasonable human beings at work, at home, or at play. Clear in their composition, sequence, and scale, sensuous in their responseto light, and conducive to rest and reason more than anything else, theare a refinement of the Scandinavian Modern tradition in which he works. Combining sparse and light-filled rooms surrounded or defined by open grids with expressive roofs or objects, Utzon's work is able to make sense out of complex programs and create relaxed and continuous spaces. Bringing together the experiences he had traveling the world with his father, Jorn Utzon, the particular form of modernism that developed in the late 20th century in Denmark, and the American Postmodernism of architects such as Charles Moore, Kim Utzon has created refined modernist forms fully appropriate to the early 21st century.

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.

By looking at how people lived, I quickly discovered that all the small gardens were filled with tool sheds and hobby sheds, and old cars stood there and pleasure craft etc. And so I designed a town plan and a house type that accepted that within their own area people could do as they pleased in their leisure time without upsetting their neighbours and without having any special easements; such a house and such a town plan that respected this or assumed the individual right to enjoy private life; but at the same time the resulting part of the town was then to have a common character as seen from outside so that it became a small community.

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.

A dual biography of the Sydney Opera House and its elusive master craftsman. Utzon was desperate to escape the fame that followed him after his creation came to fruition in 1966, and he remains resistant to any serious reflection on his life and work. It has taken 30 years of persistent research to gain an understanding of his character.

Visionary Danish architect Jørn Utzon was just thirty-eight years old when in 1957 he was named the surprise winner of an international competition to design the Sydney Opera House in Australia. His bold design consisting of five performance halls topped by billowing concrete shells clad in ceramic tile is universally recognized as a masterpiece of twentieth-century architecture. While this early triumph brought Utzon worldwide fame, it overshadowed a larger body of work of great importance for modern architecture. Utzon's highly diverse projects around the globe, from the National Assembly in Kuwait and Melli Bank in Tehran, Iran, to the Bagsværd Church and numerous houses in Denmark, are testaments to his belief that modernism need not sacrifice local character to be forward thinking. Organized into six thematic chapters—place, working method, building culture, construction, materiality, and living—Jørn Utzon presents all of his important work as well as many of his lesser-known, though equally important competition entries, furniture designs, and other built projects.
