In 1957, he won an international design competition for the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Utzon's revised design, which he completed in 1961, was the basis for the landmark, although it was not completed until 1973. When the Sydney Opera House was declared a World Heritage Site in 2007, Utzon became only the second person to have received such recognition for one of his works during his lifetime. Other noteworthy works include Bagsværd Church near Copenhagen and the National Assembly Building in Kuwait. He also made important contributions to housing design. Utzon attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (193742) and was influenced early on by Alvar Aalto. Jorn Utzon's Opera House has a heroic quality. Utzon referred to it himself as a kind of 'cathedral', analogous to a Gothic church in the way that light and movement play across its public spaces. Its complex shell-like roof structures echo Gothic arches in section, but the building breaks with all precedent in its three-dimensional form. Finding a practical solution to the construction of these roofs occupied the architect and the engineer Ove Arup for many years, necessitating considerable experimentation with pre-cast concrete technology. Disputes with his client led to Utzon's withdrawal from the project. After a 16-year gestation, it opened in 1973 having already become an Australian national icon. Sydney-based architectural historian and critic Philip Drew is a widely published author or essays and architectural books which include: Sydney Opera House; Touch This Earth Lightly: Glenn Murcutt In His Own Words; New Tent Architecture; and an unauthorized biography of Jørn Utzon, The Masterpiece: Jørn Utzon, a Secret Life.
