...emergence of more sophisticated versions of computer-assisted design, CAD, which make it easier to conceive and build the most complex irregular forms. When the billowing Sydney Opera House was under construction four decades ago, it went millions of dollars over budget because of the difficulties in translating Joern Utzon's arching sail forms into a structure that would actually stand up. These days you could practically dash the thing off on your Palm Pilot. Adventurous architects are working with the same software used by aircraft engineers and special-effects designers, who also think about things like how curved...
SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE, 1973 Architect: Joern Utzon Is it all roof or all walls? As beloved now as it was controversial during construction, the building is a blissful union of unique structure and breathtaking location. Sydneysiders fight over what buildings are worthy to go next...

Not since Joern Utzon's 1973 design for the Sydney Opera House has a building so dramatically imposed itself on a city. On the river edge of a town planned in terms of axial Beaux Arts order, architect Gehry, 68, has inserted a startlingly irregular building that defies every convention of axiality, including...

Winning architect was Denmark's Joern Utzon, now 47, who until then had built only a few housing projects. The drawings seemed a fantasy. In construction, they have proved even more exciting-and difficult to realize...
...pictures, we deployed 14 photographers across the continent. It sounds like a dream assignment, but it did have some problems. Photographer Joern Gerdts, who lives in one of the most famed resorts of them all-Aspen-was, of course, assigned to cover that haven. But Aspen, for all its glory, was still in the cool, quiet "melting season." So Gerdts, feeling slightly subversive, slipped away to Colorado Springs, where he caught the guests at the Broadmoor in poolside relaxation...
