Talk:Jørn Utzon

message: is anyone else considering reworking the utzon article? it is mainly about the opera house today, offering a somewhat limited picture of the architect.
and speaking of pictures, is this a worthy wikipedia link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/seier/sets/72157600103941003/ ?

message: Why is he categorized as Danish-Australian? He weren't born in Australia nor does he live there. Just because he worked there while the opera house was built doesn't make him Australian. EconomicsGuy (talk) 08:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: "Utzon says his design was inspired by the simple act of peeling an orange: the 14 shells of the building, if combined, would form a perfect sphere."
This is a ridiculous claim.  It comes from a Danish news website and was written in 2008,  probably just after Utzon's death.   The bit about the
orange is true.  The claim that there are 14 shells is demonstrably wrong -  you can count them in the picture,   and even if you count a pair
of shells as "a shell",  there is no way you can get to a count of 14.    The claim that if you combine the shells,  you get a perfect sphere,
is also 100% journalistic invention.Lathamibird (talk) 12:26, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps confused. There is a detailed account of the orange inspiration and its confused reporting here. The "14" might be linked to an earlier design, the "perfect" an unfortunate wording. Suggest removing those two words and replacing the ref. --ELEKHHT 23:13, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Utzon was a professor at the University of Hawaii after leaving Australia.  Not sure how to mix that in given the current structure of the article.  Someone should take on editing it. Citation below includes his tenure in Hawaii
