J0rn Utzon: The Architect's Universe
J0rn Utzon was born in 1918 and spent his childhood in Aalborg, Denmark. He studied architecture at The Royal Academy in Copenhagen, graduating in 1942. He designed his own house in Hellebaek in the early 50s, and in 1957 he won the international competition for the Sydney Opera House in Australia, which was not completed until 1973, six years after Utzon had withdrawn from the project. In addition, his best-known buildings include a Lutheran church in Bagsvaerd, Denmark, and the Kuwait National Assembly. He was awarded the Pritzker Prize for Architecture in 2003.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
