Présentation de l'éditeur :
"Both books put their projects in context, positioning them in the
wider oeuvre and throwing light on Utzon's design philosophy. They are
easier to chew than the full Weston, even if Utzon's career resists
separation into bit-size pieces. Cumulatively, all these books will
help to build the reputation of an architect who seems to have much to
offer as a correction to our image-driven architechtural culture."

The book provides valuable study material for all who are involved in house building:
Review for Norsk Byggekunst, Helge Hjertholm
"By looking at how people lived, I quickly discovered
that all the small gardens were filled
with tool sheds and hobby sheds, and old cars
stood there and pleasure craft etc. And so I
designed a town plan and a house type that accepted
that within their own area people could
do as they pleased in their leisure time without
upsetting their neighbours and without having any
special easements; such a house and such a town
plan that respected this or assumed the individual
right to enjoy private life; but at the
same time the resulting part of the town was then
to have a common character as seen from outside
so that it became a small community."
Jørn Utzon
"The Kingo Houses and the Fredensborg Housing
are both revolutionary works that manifest new
compositional arrangements for residential
architecture."
Minoru Takeyama, A+U
"Kingo Houses and Fredensborg are two examples
of how to move from individual housing to what Le
Corbusier called "l’unité d’Habitation". All
this, furthermore, without forcing it into a
pre-designed package, giving form to that old
Enlightenment dream in which society and nature
come together to be the same thing."
Rafael Moneo, Louisiana Revy
