Description

Aware of the architects declining influence on architecture Jrn Utzon felt that his Logbook series would be of value to people interested in the architects role and its importance in society. Based on his own experience and a carefully edited selection of drawings from his archives, the Logbooks offer unique access to the process of working out architecture in the interest of the wellbeing of people. Torsten Blndal

The long-awaited third instalment of Jorn Utzon's logbooks (yes, the sharp-eyed amongst you will have spotted it's volume 2 - you don't want it too easy, do you?) is every bit as sumptuously detailed as volumes 1 and 3. A complete record of all stages in the construction of the church at Bagsvard, from Utzon's initial idea, through sketches, construction, use, and even correspondence during the production of the book, the documentation is so thorough it is nearly unbelievable. Sections on the acoustics, technical details of the organ, plans and photographs galore: there really is very little to compare with this series. If you have any interest in architects and their projects you are unlikely to spend a better 35 in your life. A true labour of love.
