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
Completed in 1982, the Kuwait National Assembly remains one of the outstanding modern buildings completed in the Middle East by a European architect. A tour de force of precast concrete construction, Jrn Utzons design also represents the culmination of themes that had preoccupied him throughout his work, notably ways of combining ideas derived from traditional cultures with the additive principles of cellular growth found in nature.
This beautifully produced book, the latest addition to Edition Blndals acclaimed Utzon Logbook series, was developed in close collaboration with Utzon and presents an exceptionally comprehensive account of the Kuwait project through photographs, original drawings and the recollections of key contributors Utzons staff, consulting engineers and contractor, and an extended interview with Utzon himself.
