Utzon worked with Ove Arup on this seminal building. In 1966 Jorn Utzon left Sydney, never to return.

He was forced out of the Sydney Opera House project by well-documented political infighting and the cancellation of his contract.

Recently Jorn Utzon - with his son Jan and their firm Utzon Architects - recommenced work with the Sydney Opera House Trust on renovations.
