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.

A dual biography of the Sydney Opera House and its elusive master craftsman. Utzon was desperate to escape the fame that followed him after his creation came to fruition in 1966, and he remains resistant to any serious reflection on his life and work. It has taken 30 years of persistent research to gain an understanding of his character.

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 The volume includes numerous previously unpublished photographs, drawings, and interviews with Utzon’s family members, former students, and colleagues, offering a significant contribution to the existing body of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.

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. . .
