The symposium will examine the sources of Utzon's inspiration and Nordic background, consider the range of his work, built and unrealised, with particular regard to the evolution of his greatest achievement the Sidney Opera House and provide an insight into Utzon's current proposals for the future development of the building. Together with an appraisal of the significance of Utzon's work within world architecture and presentations by architects who have been personally inspired and influenced by Jørn Utzon.
