Travelling with “Utzon 100”

Utzon 100

The travelling exhibit that celebrates world-renowned architect Jørgen Utzon

9 March 2018 – The Utzon Centre in Aalborg, Denmark, has recently inaugurated the “Utzon 100” exhibition. Conceived as a travelling initiative, the exhibition was created to celebrate the centenary of Jørgen Utzon’s  birth, the Danish architect who designed one of the most influential architectural projects of the 20th century:  the Opera House in Sydney, where the last stage of the travelling exhibition will be held this December.
Travelling with “Utzon 100”
Visitors are guided through the life and career of this Pritzker-award-winning architect: from his childhood and adolescence in Aalborg to his years at the Danish Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Design and Conservation, as well as, the early years of his career in Sweden during World War II, until the time when he collaborated with the Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto.

Through high-resolution touchscreen-display drawings, photographs, videos and original models, the exhibition explores the major themes that shaped Utzon’s architecture. Utzon’s work includes the design of the Sydney Opera House, the Can Lis summer house in Majorca, the Bagsværd Church, the National Assembly Building in Kuwait, and the mythical unbuilt project for the Silkeborg museum, which had been intended to house the art and private collection of Danish artist Asger Jorn.

iGuzzini installed Palco Warm White luminaires to highlight the various “stopovers” of the travelling exhibition – Aalborg, Copenhagen, and Sydney. The projectors offer high visual comfort, which can be adjusted according to the varying requirements of the exhibition.
