DANISH ARCHITECT JORN UTZON WINS PRITZKER PRIZE

Jorn Utzon, the Danish-born modernist best known for his design of the much-celebrated Sydney Opera House, has won the 2003 Pritzker Prize, architecture’s highest honor. Over the course of his career, Nicolai Ouroussoff writes in the Los Angeles Times, Utzon created a range of significant works whose bold abstract aesthetic was often tempered by a sensitivity to precedent.
