Parking near Utzon Center
The Utzon Center in Aalborg was the renowned architect Jørn Utzon's final work before he passed away at the age of 90. He designed the Utzon Center together with his son Kim Utzon. The center serves as a focal point for architecture, design, and art. Jørn Utzon envisioned the Utzon Center not as a museum but as a gathering place centered around architecture.
The roofs of the Utzon Center are inspired by the sails of ships. The place consists of two exhibition halls: the Spidsgatter Hall, a workshop for students from the Architecture & Design program at Aalborg University, the Utzon Library, the Utzon Archive, the Obelske Auditorium on the 1st floor, and the Utzon Restaurant. The entire building is organized around the atrium courtyard.
The Utzon Center was inaugurated in May 2008 and serves as a gathering place on the Aalborg waterfront, a place where Jørn Utzon spent much of his childhood. It's a place where architecture, design, and art, exhibitions and conferences, meetings, and culinary experiences come together.
