Overview
* The first monograph by Kim Utzon, the son of Pritzker Prize-winning Danish architect Jørn Utzon* Features a selection of twenty-five built and unbuilt institutional, commercial and residential projects developed throughout a thirty-five year practice* Provides a creative, spiritual and artistic overview of Kim Utzon's architectural journey, developed in partnership with longtime collaboratorTorben Eskerod, an award-winning Danish photographer* The introduction by the art, architecture and design critic Aaron Betsky offers a comprehensive analysis of Utzon's architectural approach and achievements* Includes a foreword by the internationally renowned curator, critic and photography historian Gabriel Bauret in which he meditates on theconnection between joy and the architectural experience while architecture writer James Moore McCown explores Kim Utzon Arkitekten's richlylayered work in a wide-ranging interview that covers the firm's history from its founding to the present day.Kim Utzon can do without the drama. The white worlds he has createdin Denmark and southern Sweden over the last few decades arestage sets for the ordered appearance of rational and reasonable humanbeings at work, at home, or at play. Clear in their composition,sequence, and scale, sensuous in their responseto light, and conduciveto rest and reason more than anything else, theare a refinementof the Scandinavian Modern tradition in which he works. Combiningsparse and light-filled rooms surrounded or defined by open gridswith expressive roofs or objects, Utzon's work is able to make senseout of complex programs and create relaxed and continuous spaces.Bringing together the experiences he had traveling the world with hisfather, Jorn Utzon, the particular form of modernism that developedin the late 20th century in Denmark, and the American Postmodernismof architects such as Charles Moore, Kim Utzon has createdrefined modernist forms fully appropriate to the early 21st century.
