I only just found out that the brilliant Danish architect of the Sydney Opera House, Jorn Utzon, died yesterday. He is someone that I have admired greatly, and whose legacy to us is one that I am incredibly grateful for. The story of the design and building of the Sydney Opera House is a fascinating and controversial one. Well worth a further investigation (Dina?) if you have some time on your hands.“I have made a sculpture . . . you will never be finished with it – when you pass around it or see it against the sky . . . something new goes on all the time . . . together with the sun, the light and the clouds, it makes a living thing.”
- Jørn Utzon, 2002
