北京发行仪式
《约恩·乌特松的悉尼歌剧院》以图片的方式歌颂了悉尼歌剧院的精神和它的设计师丹麦建筑师约恩·乌特松。
这本书也实现了一个年轻建筑学生兼摄影师Katarina Stübe 的梦想。Katarina Stübe 热爱这座建筑并决心去探索这个作为现代世界奇迹之一的歌剧院是如何被创造出来的。这本书的发行仪式将在北京澳大利亚使馆进行。
Katarina取得了与约恩·乌特松和他同样也是建筑师的儿子杨·乌特松合作的难得机会，把我们带上了一个关于歌剧院历史和未来的奇妙视觉之旅。Katarina的图片配有叙述性的文字记录了她的旅程和扬·乌特松讲述的关于乌特松家族的生活以及这座现代史上号称最具代表性的建筑的奇闻轶事。这本书里还收录了乌特松文档中之前没有发表过的草图和照片。
约恩·乌特松从来没有见过这个备受争议的建筑完工之后的歌剧院。但是每年都会有喜爱这座建筑的人给他寄来成千上万的照片。约恩为Katarina的照片写了以下的话：
“你对这座建筑的诠释太美妙了。许多图片让我想起我最初为这些贝壳作的概念草图。它栩栩如生的外形以及对未来的期盼和冒险精神都在你的图片上得到充分的体现。”
《约恩·乌特松的悉尼歌剧院》的发行仪式将在北京澳大利亚使馆举行，之前还在上海和香港的图书展会上展出。大使芮捷锐博士将介绍本书的作者Katarina Stübe ，同时Katarina Stübe也将展出本书中的图片。

Jørn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House, A Tribute
Beijing Book Launch
Jørn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House is a photographic tribute to the spirit of the Sydney Opera House and the man who designed it; Danish architect Jørn Utzon.
The book, which will have its Beijing launch at the Australian Embassy, also follows the dreams of Katarina Stübe - a young architectural student and photographer, who fell in love with the building and set out to understand how one of the modern wonders of the world was created.
In a rare collaboration with Jørn Uzton, and his architect son Jan, Katarina takes us on a visual journey that focuses on the future of the Opera House, as much as on its history. Katarina’s photographs are accompanied by a narrative text chronicling her journey together with anecdotes from Jan about the life of the Utzon family and the building of one of the most iconic structures in modern history. Also included are previously unpublished sketches and photos from the Utzon archives.
Jørn Utzon never saw the Opera House after its controversial construction was completed but each year he would be sent thousands of photographs from people with a love of the building. Jørn wrote about Katarina’s pictures that:
“It is wonderful to see your interpretation of the building. Many of the images remind me of my first conceptual sketches for the shells. The evocative shapes and the sense of anticipation and adventure come out so well in your pictures.”
Jørn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House will be launched in Beijing, at the Australian Embassy following presentations in Shanghai and at the Hong Kong Book Fair. Ambassador, Dr Geoff Raby will introduce author Katarina Stübe, who will present a talk and exhibition of photographs from the book.
