Utzon has died, but his works are alive.
Dinamism in architecture has to do with light, not with buildings that move. Utzon made the stones, the concrete, the bricks and the wood breath under the light. The video is at his Bagsvaerd Church in Copenhague.
Utzon liked to cite Goethe saying: "give me a job, so I can devote my self with love and skill a hundred per cent. Then it is not a job anymore, it becomes an art, an expression of love". The tribute of the Sydney Opera House is worth visiting.
PD: William Curtis has said recently that there were just two Masters alive in architecture: one of them was Utzon.

una gran perdida sin duda.
en mi opinión uno de los pocos que fue capaz de mantenerse en su posición; como artista, arquitecto, diseñador, pero sin caer en el espectáculo, en el negocio facil.
su edificio de la Opera de Sidney, significó el más claro ejemplo de edificio que representa a una ciudad sin renunciar a la calidad arquitectónica -porque estaba primero ésta-, y es la mayor envidia de los arquitectos que sin ser cómo era él pretenden tener un edificio tan representativo cómo éste.
enhorabuena por el blog, muy completo, siento no haber comentado en inglés, pero no podía garantizar el mismo nivel de expresión que tengo en castellano.
