<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The extraordinary residence on Mallorca that Danish architect Jørn Utzon--famed designer of the Sydney Opera House--built for himself and his family in 1974.</b> <p/>In 2012, Danish architect Lise Juel completed the restoration of fellow Dane Jørn Utzon's magnificent residence on the Spanish island of Mallorca, known as Can Lis. Uncovering Utzon is a series of pensées by Juel describing the process of restoring the beloved architect's unique and magnificent construction for the Utzon Foundation. <p/>Accompanying Juel's evocative account are the equally evocative images of the house by eminent architectural photographer Hélène Binet. Known for her powerful black-and-white photographs of the work of the world's most important architects, past and present, Binet brings her unique eye to Can Lis to produce a breathtaking portrait of Utzon's spectacular, elemental masterpiece. Together, Juel's personal account and Binet's inimitable photography illustrate the undeniable power of this rough-hewn Modernist architectural landmark.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lise Juel</b> is an award-winning Danish architect, founder of Atelier Lise Juel, and an associate professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
