	AA - RECOGNITION - May/June 2003
		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.
		When Utzon left Australia in April 1966 never to return and with his masterpiece unfinished, the local profession, despite protestation, were powerless in Utzon’s final hour of need.
		It must be said, however, that Utzon was himself not without blame in all of this, carrying his artistic pride before him, principles held aloft, he was unwilling to compromise at any cost.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Return of the master builder
		Utzon walks out of the house where he has lived for the past decade and, in his polite, Scandinavian way, dispels a reputation for being an obstinate recluse.
		Utzon's solution to the challenges of Bennelong Point was to bury the guts of the theatre in a platform on which would sit his magnifi cent white shells, all segments of spheres of the same dimensions.
		Friends say that Utzon, an intensely private man in an age of superstar architects, has been reinvigorated by his return to the opera, by his realisation that he had made a unique building, and by the fact that a definitive book on his work has finally appeared.

	7.30 Report - 08/07/2002: Architects unfinished dream for Opera House
		ANNE MARIA NICHOLSON: 45 years on, Joern Utzon is as excited now as he was in 1957 on the day a telephone call alerted him that his daring design had beaten off more than 200 others to win the international competition.
		JOERN UTZON: He said to me he had the feeling that his people lacked something they had in Europe in every big town, the access and contact with musicians and artists.
		JOERN UTZON: We went away and I was working as a professor and we had other projects coming and so on.

	A quarter of a century on
		Utzon has decided to talk for no reason other than that he's 74 and he's convinced, finally, that the climate of philistinism in Australia which spurned him "like a common criminal" 26 years ago has changed.
		Utzon is handed a 1986 Herald clipping of an interview with the three architects who stepped in after he left.
		JOERN Utzon is currently putting the finishing touches to what might well be his last building, a striking house nestled in the hills behind where he and Lis now live.

	Opera House, Sydney, Australia (Jørn Utzon) - Australian Architecture @ Archiseek.com
		The first stage (1959-1963) consisted of building the upper podium; the second stage (1963-1967) was building the outer shells and the third stage was the interior design and construction(1967-73).
		Utzon never saw the completed work after disputes with the then recently elected Askin Government, and in particular, its Public Works Minister, Davis Hughes.
		Utzon was forced to resign in 1966, during the second stage of construction, and his place was largely taken over by Peter Hall.

	2003 Laureate Announcement
		Utzon, who is described as being an intensely private person was unwittingly entangled in political intrigues and besieged by a hostile press, which eventually forced him out of the project before it was completed.
		She refers to the Utzon’s church in Bagsværd, a community just north of Copenhagen, where in the 16th century, the King of Denmark allowed an exisiting church to be pulled down to provide bricks for the restoration of a building for the university.
		Jørn Utzon is an artist and architect whose response not only to ancient cultures of Islam and the Mayans, as well as the Japanese and Chinese, but also his affinity for nature, and the use of natural materials, places him in a firmament populated by only the most gifted of all the ages.

	Sydney Architecture Images- Sydney Opera House
		On January 29, 1957, the judges announced that Joern Utzon was the winner of the competition.
		Utzon drew on the form of Mayan temples for his solid, grand ceremonial platform with staircases, from which spring the shells or roof structure.
		These are, in Utzon's words, 'to be used as a permanent reference for the long term conservation and management of the House and for any redevelopment of interiors as and when that becomes necessary'.

	Jørn Utzon at Louisiana - COPENHAGEN CAPACITY, Denmark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		JÃ¸rn Utzon is an architect whose work is permeated by the idea of creating buildings for people â“ in other words not as architectural monuments.
		The Opera House in Sydney (1957-73) outstandingly demonstrates Utzonâs work with the plateau as a foundation for the establishment of the building.
		The additive principle in architecture is expressed for example in Utzonâs development of the Fredensborg Houses (1959-65) and Espansiva (1969), but a less well known side of his work will also be presented â“ his furniture design â“ similarly conceived on the basis of the additive.

	The studio of Jørn Utzon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The exhibition ranges from Utzon’s competition entry, awarded first prize in the international competition of 1957, to his final unrealised schemes for the Opera House’s interiors, completed in 1966 shortly before he left Sydney under pressure.
		Utzon’s architectural models, sketches, plans, rare books and travel movies reveal the inspirations for his designs from his early work on the building as well as his new ideas behind the recently completed Utzon Room (his first interior at Sydney Opera House) and changes to the Western facade.
		The exhibition illuminates some of the sources of Utzon’s inspiration, and also demonstrates the agility of his mind, its ability to combine influences into a unique design which is entirely original, proving that there is no single key to its identity, said exhibition curator, John Murphy.

	Sydney's Opera House--Not a World Heritage Item?
		Joern Utzon's reference to the Opera House as an "Australian" work of architecture could imply that he feels that it is insufficiently recognised in Australia because it was designed by a foreigner.
		To ignore this in the case of the Opera House would be a blow to urban aesthetics and could ruin the area for generations to come.
		While Sydney's reconciliation with Utzon is fortunately well under way, the Howard government's refusal to nominate the Opera House for UNESCO's world heritage list is unjustified and difficult to understand considering the history of its design and planning process, developments since then and its immense symbolic value for Sydney and Australia.

	Joern Utzon is back in Sydney \| Floornature
		Master architect Joern Utzon, the man behind the Sydney Opera House, has accepted an appointment to renovate the building.
		An international panel of assessors including Eero Saarinen selected the Danish architect, born in 1918, to build the Opera House from out of 234 entrants in a competition held 35 years ago for a theatre which was to offer an example of contemporary architecture.
		Construction began in 1957 and was completed in 1973 after a lengthy and extenuating process of translation of the architect's ideas into actual constructions, requiring Utzon to come up with a seemingly never-ending series of variations.

	mr. Accident
		Architect Joern Utzon was aesthetically influenced by both the Australian obsession of building Big Things for no apparent reason and his own simple taste for eggs.
		In 1966 the conservative Liberal government of NSW fired the greatest architect of the 20th century, Joern Utzon and got some ratbag from the public works to finish off the building.
		The true vision remained but a dream until, required as the centrepiece of the Yahoo Serious motion picture Mr Accident, Joern Utzon's architectural masterpiece, the Sydney Egg-Opera House was finally finished in 2000 to his original specifications.

		The 84 year old Utzon has retired to a house he designed for himself on the island of Majorca, but his two sons, Jan and Kim, continue the practice of Utzon Architects in Haarby, Denmark.
		His work shows the world that he has been there and beyond — he proves that the marvelous and seemingly impossible in architecture can be achieved.
		He rightly joins the handful of Modernists who have shaped the past century with buildings of timeless and enduring quality.

		The additive principle in architecture is expressed for example in Utzon’s development of the Kingo Houses (1956-58), the Fredensborg Houses (1959-65) and Espansiva (1969), but a less well known side of his work will also be presented — his furniture design — similarly conceived on the basis of the additive.
		Finally, the exhibition sheds light on the organic as a theme, and how nature has always been there as one of the most important starting-points for Utzon.
		The exhibition illustrates the process in Utzon’s works and will focus on both his works and his sources of inspiration in the form of models, photos, drawings and sketches.
