Jørn Utzon |
One of the greatest architects of the 20th century, Jørn Utzon is an architect of modern icons. From large scale works like the Sydney Opera House, the Kuwait National Assembly, the Kingo Housing Project, alongside the Spring glassware set and a very few other smaller objects, Utzon’s work begins as poetry, seeing architecture and objects as art that includes thoughtful functionality, structural integrity and sculptural harmony. As a fellow Pritzker Laureate, Frank Gehry, commented, "Utzon made a building well ahead of its time, far ahead of available technology, and he persevered through extraordinary malicious publicity and negative criticism to build a building that changed the image of an entire country. It is the first time in our lifetime that an epic piece of architecture has gained such universal presence". From growing up as the son of a naval engineer, to training in architecture and traveling the world, the dimensions of Utzon’s work are beyond scale, reflected simply and universally through his buildings and objects. |
