6. Utzon Center
Building, Opera House
When the architect of the Sydney Opera House, Jørn Utzon, designed the Utzon Center, his goal was to create a space where young architects could meet and exchange ideas. Now, 10 years after the building was inaugurated, Utzon has become a cultural space where through exhibitions, lectures, and workshops the best of design, architecture, and art are presented to the public, and a knowledge center where emerging talents can mingle with established architects.
