Bibliography
Utzon – Two houses on Majorca by John Pardey
Edition Bløndal, 2005, 76 pages, full colour Nominated for RIBA Bookshops Award 2005
This monograph presents the two houses that Utzon designed for himself on the island of Majorca, Can Lis and Can Feliz, which has been described as a miniature acropolis. Designed almost 20 years apart, the houses display the essence of modern Mediterranean architecture. The book comprehensively documents the houses, demonstrating how, by tapping into the particularities of place and culture, Utzon was able to create a seemingly timeless architecture of universal interest.
