Fluid Thought Workshop-Utzon Research

Utzon was motivated, like many of his peers, by the task of rebuilding the post-war Europe. His idea of Architecture was a place for good thoughts to come together and a place for architecture students to visit, a powerhouse of inspiration.

The marine environment was a major source of inspiration, being the son of a talented marine engineer and his sailing experiences as a kid. He saw boats as symbol of the human ability to live in tune with their surroundings, just as fish and birds have found their solutions to the sea and wind.

For the Sydney Opera House, he envisioned acoustically shaped shells enclosing the performance venues. A big concrete structure that ages beautifully. A space that is unimpeded by traffic and from each seat offers a niche + view similar to the fiords of Denmark.

He listed major influences from Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Gunnar Asplund.
