Jørn Utzon

Jørn Utzon is one of Denmark's most famous architects. He is most known for designing the Sydney Opera House. The construction of the Opera House took most of his time so he did not design many other projects. For my Danish Architecture class we have gone to see three of his buildings.

This is the Bagsværd Church. It looks very plain on the outside but when you walk in the ceilings are a series of folds and curves.
