Summary

This anthology is based on the proceedings of the Third International Utzon Symposium held on April 1, 2012 in the Dar el Bacha palace, Marrakech, Morocco. The Symposium was a further development of the previous two Symposia held by the Utzon Research Center in Aalborg, Denmark and represents a collaboration between the Jorn Utzon Research Network (JURN), The Utzon Research Center, and L' Ecole Nationale d'Architecture (ENA) of Morocco. The objective of the book is to provide further information about the architecture and work of Jorn Utzon and to initiate research and enquiry on what has been coined as the 'Utzon Paradigm.' The work and practices of Jorn Utzon - in relation to dwelling, landscape, place, and making - are of exemplary, iconic, and general character, which means that the contours of a paradigm is there to be found. Future work within JURN will focus upon elaborating these contours. Many will join in this effort, to be continued in future Utzon symposiums and workshops around the world.
