Book excerpt: Building a masterpiece explores some of the untold chapters in the long history of the Opera House's gestation, development and completion -- of individuals whose careers were made or broken by the Opera House, the companies whose reputations were secured through their association with the building, and the pioneering construction methods, innovative technologies and methodologies developed to meet the demands of its unprecedented design and challenging construction. The workers who built the building, the politicians, architects and members of the public who championed it and its often beleaguered architect are discussed as is its current world status as a symbol of Australia.To coincide with the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Opera House, this new edition of Building a Masterpiece will include a new chapter on another little known and much misunderstood story: the architect who took over from Utzon and completed the project.

Download or read book J rn Utzon and Transcultural Essentialism written by Adrian Carter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces and defines the burgeoning concepts of transculturalism and essentialism and how they relate to one another, as articulated with reference to the work of Jørn Utzon. It introduces critical contemporary perspectives of the design thinking and career of this renowned Danish architect, internationally recognised for his competition-winning, iconic design for the Sydney Opera House – an outstanding exemplar of transcultural essentialism in architecture. Transcultural essentialism is analysed through the lens of critical regionalism and architectural phenomenology, with emphasis on the sense of place and tectonics in Utzon’s architectural works. It provides a new understanding of the Danish architect as an early proponent of a still emergent and increasingly relevant direction in architecture. Going beyond biographical studies, it presents a more comprehensive understanding of the broad range of transcultural influences that formed his thinking. The volume includes numerous previously unpublished photographs, drawings, and interviews with Utzon’s family members, former students, and colleagues, offering a significant contribution to the existing body of knowledge for any architecture scholar interested in Utzon’s work and design principles. The book also comprises a Foreword by eminent architecture theorist Juhani Pallasmaa in which he provides insights into the wider architectural and cultural context of Utzon’s worldview.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visionary Danish architect Jørn Utzon was just thirty-eight years old when in 1957 he was named the surprise winner of an international competition to design the Sydney Opera House in Australia. His bold design consisting of five performance halls topped by billowing concrete shells clad in ceramic tile is universally recognized as a masterpiece of twentieth-century architecture. While this early triumph brought Utzon worldwide fame, it overshadowed a larger body of work of great importance for modern architecture. Utzon's highly diverse projects around the globe, from the National Assembly in Kuwait and Melli Bank in Tehran, Iran, to the Bagsværd Church and numerous houses in Denmark, are testaments to his belief that modernism need not sacrifice local character to be forward thinking. Organized into six thematic chapters—place, working method, building culture, construction, materiality, and living—Jørn Utzon presents all of his important work as well as many of his lesser-known, though equally important competition entries, furniture designs, and other built projects.

Download or read book Aalto Utzon Fehn written by Roger Tyrrell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the work of three seminal Nordic architects - Alvar Aalto, Jørn Utzon and Sverre Fehn - from a phenomenological perspective, utilising the methodology of 'paradigm' (or 'in the manner of''). Roger Tyrrell explains how the approach of each architect is defined by the three sub-frames of the paradigm: that of the ‘origin’ (arche), that of ‘revealing’ (techne), and that of ‘the poetic conjunction’, in order to gain a holistic understanding of the experiential or phenomenological predisposition of the three architects. Using this method the author describes the commonalties and distinctive qualities of the architecture and design methods of Aalto, Utzon and Fehn. The final chapter projects the intellectual heritage of the three protagonists into the contemporary world, examining the work of practices from the UK, Norway and the USA that each extend this particular way of making place.

Download or read book A Tribute to J rn Utzon written by Katarina Stübe and published by Reveal Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JØRN UTZON'S SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE is a photographic essay of the Sydney Opera House. It is the only book about the Sydney Opera House to have the commendation of Jørn Utzon himself. His comments about the photographs and his appreciation of the photographer's interpretation of his edifice contribute in making this a very special edition. This book is a collaboration between the photographer, Katarina Stübe and Jan Utzon, the son of Jørn Utzon. Jan reveals the influence of the Sydney Opera House on his family's life up until today and shares anecdotes of an era of Australian history. Many other interesting details are given about the Sydney Opera House including the selection criteria by which the opera house design won the competition. The book also includes sketches, drawings and formerly unpublished photographs from the Utzon archives. Katarina Stübe has endeavoured to share with the reader the timeless beauty of the Sydney Opera House. Her sensitive approach captures the familiar structure we have come to love in a fresh way. Through her eyes we are able to envisage the poetic beauty of the soaring roof-shells, as she attempts to capture on film some of the spirit apparent in the architect's initial sketches of the sculptural roof structure and other details. Stübe reveals new angles and challenges the viewer with her point of view of Utzon's masterpiece, at the same time allowing for the detailed beauty of the Opera House to be viewed. The book is also the story of a young photographer who pursued her dream about a fascinating building and its architect, how she met him and the influence of these meetings on her life and work. . .

Download or read book Utzon and the Sydney Opera House Penguin Special written by Daryl Dellora and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jørn Utzon designed the Sydney Opera House so that every element would be in harmony. But its construction, while it began in just that way, ended in complete discord. The visionary state government that commissioned the project was replaced by one that did not appreciate it and stopped funding it. Utzon was forced out. The interiors he planned went unbuilt and rumours were spread about his departure. In this incisive essay, to celebrate the Opera House's fortieth anniversary, Daryl Dellora draws on his own past interview with Utzon to pull those rumours apart. Along with the architect's original intentions, he reveals how misguided was the attempt to thwart one of the modern world's architectural masterpieces.

Download or read book Postphenomenology and Architecture written by Lars Botin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture and urban design are typically considered as a result of artistic creativity performed by gifted individuals. Postphenomenology and Architecture: Human Technology Relations in the Built Environment analyzes buildings and cities instead as technologies. Informed by a postphenomenological perspective, this book argues that buildings and the furniture of cities—like bike lanes, benches, and bus stops—are inscribed in a conceptual framework of multistability, which is to say that they fulfill different purposes over time. Yet, there are qualities in the built environment that are long lasting and immutable and that transcend temporal functionality and ephemeral efficiency. The contributors show how different perceptions, practices, and interpretations are tangible and visible as we engage with these technologies. In addition, several of the chapters critically assess the influence of Martin Heidegger in modern philosophy of architecture. This book reads Heidegger from the perspective of architecture and urban design as technology, shedding light on what it means to build and dwell.
