Designer of Sydney Opera House Dies
November 30, 2008
Posted by: Carol
Danish architect Jørn Utzon, designer of the Sydney Opera House, died today at the age 90. The Sydney Opera House is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. And it does not disappoint in person or up close. It is a marvel.
Utzon designed the opera house in 1957 at age 39, but outrageous cost overruns and skirmishes over the design made him quit the project in 1966. It was finished seven years later without him. He never returned to Australia.
