Utzon Center – Architecture that Sets Sails

Jørn Utzon is famous for the Sydney Opera House that billows like sails in the harbor. But there’s another building that perhaps was closer to Utzon’s heart. Utzon Center was the last building that he designed in the city where he grew up on the northern tip of Jutland. And just as the opera in Sydney, the building in Aalborg is also inspired by the sailing ships that used to fill the harbor on the Limfjord. Utzon Center was completed in 20018 together with Utzon’s son Kim Utzon and houses temporary exhibitions on design and architecture and the Utzon Archives.
