	Jorn Utzon - Great Buildings Online

	The New Yorker : fact : content
		Utzon is also redesigning the interior of one of the two main halls, and has completed a set of design principles that will guide future alterations, long after he is gone, to an edifice likely to stand for centuries.
		Utzon always dressed with subtle taste—“It was clear he had a very good tailor in Copenhagen”—but the younger architects were free to abandon the suit and tie that would have been obligatory in most Sydney architecture firms of the day.
		Utzon, however, maintained that drawings couldn’t be done until prototypes had been tested, and asserted scornfully that there was no point in putting the job to tender, as only Symonds had a factory equipped to make the vast plywood sheets required.

	Architecture - Jorn Utzon
		Utzon was born on April 9, 1918, in Copenhagen, where he studied architecture.
		Utzon’s earliest completed buildings were houses, and the success of his design for the Sydney Opera House was unexpected.
		Utzon disassociated himself from the project in 1966, and claimed only the exterior of the building as following his design.

	Utzon, utzoff: Opera House facelift - SkyscraperCity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Mr Utzon was invited by Mr Carr to oversee the major upgrade of the Opera House in 1998.
		Utzon, who famously abandoned the Opera House project after falling out with the state government over funding, was approached after concerns were raised about the condition of the Opera Theatre orchestra pit.
		It is understood Utzon wants to increase the volume of the Opera Theatre within the existing shell, improving not only the stage, the orchestra pit and seating capacity, but also the theatre's dubious acoustics and poor seating arrangement (a quarter of the seats suffer from obstructed views).

	Jørn Utzon Pritzker Prize
		Utzon is currently overseeing the renovation of the interior, guiding his architect son Jan Utzon and Australian architect Richard Johnson, from afar.
		Utzon's son Jan will be at the presentation in Madrid on May 20th to accept the award for his father.
		In 1992, the Royal Australian Institute of Architects gave Utzon a commemorative medal "with an apology" to mark his contribution to the Opera House.
