This book aims at contributing to contemporary investigations and
discussions around Nordic Perspectives. It is a critical study
concerning architectural history and theory and the significance of the
legacy of Danish architectural master Jørn Utzon (1918-2008). Inside the
book, the reader will find a selection of fourteen buildings and
building complexes built in the second half of the 20th century
critically re-addressed through drawings, physical models, and academic
essays developed alongside a series of teaching and research activities.
Seven of these projects were selected due to their relationship with an
import of architectural production to Denmark, while the remaining seven
are significant due to an export of architectural production from
Denmark, relating to the fact that a large part of Utzon's practice took
place abroad.
