Jørn Utzon

Jørn Utzon (1918-2008) is perhaps best-known

for designing the Sydney Opera House in the 1960s,

where the building’s façade appears different from

any given angle – exemplifying his organic concept

of architecture and expressive sculptural style.

Utzon’s fascination with architectural legends from

the Mayan, Moroccan and Asian cultures led to

what he termed “Additive Architecture”, a principle

of design that can be seen throughout his design

methodology and creative practice.
