Jørn Utzon was a Danish architect best known for the Sydney Opera House. The work is especially associated with platforms, additive systems, sculptural roofs, and inspiration from landscape and historical building traditions. Major projects include the Sydney Opera House, Bagsværd Church, and Can Lis. A responsible account also considers the extraordinary design achievement and difficult construction history of the Opera House, from which he resigned before completion.
