Fifty years since the opening of the building that changed Australia, I spoke to Lin Utzon about the ups and downs of the man who designed it.
Lin Utzon is the daughter of Jørn Utzon, the architect of the Sydney Opera House, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this week. She is visiting Sydney for the festivities, and I spoke to her on Friday. She speaks with a soft Danish lilt.Lin and Jan Utzon, the children of Sydney Opera House architect Jørn Utzon, are in Sydney for the building’s 50th anniversary.Yes, I do.
Is it possible that the architectural genius of your father was not matched by managerial genius? No one doubts the genius of Rembrandt or Michelangelo, but it would not surprise if the same brains that could have conceived their masterworks, might have struggled – perhaps like your father – running massive projects with hundreds of moving parts?I mean that when your father resigned, he had a dozen draftspeople at most, because he wanted to keep control of everything.
