Fores, J 2006 'Jorn Utzon, Works and Projects', GG, Barcelona.

M Keiding et al 2005, Utzon and the New Tradition, Danish Architectural Press

+ Random peoples blogs who i cant be bothered to mention...


Every source seems to have exactly the same information - just reworded (slightly - if at all)
I find it strange that so few people have tried to model it or draw it - and how little information there is on it. Why didnt Utzon ever do quick perspective sketches (or at least release them)?
The 'Artist's Statement' from Utzon was the most helpful. It explained almost everything i wanted to know about the building - something that the books themsevlves really didnt achieve as well.
