The Sydney Opera House by Jorn Utzon

Shortly before his death in 2008, Utzon reportedly clashed with his son and grandson over details of the remodeling project at Sydney Opera House. His family wanted to assure that Jorn Utzon's original vision was preserved.

There is no doubt, however, that the artistic clashes will be quickly forgotten as the world honors Jorn Utzon's powerful legacy. In 2009, funding was approved for improvements to the backstage area and other major renovations. Work is scheduled for completion in 2013.
