250 word feelings on the building

My first thoughts of the Silkeborg Museum architectural plans reminds me of the "Walt Disney Concert Hall" in Los Angeles, USA. Utzon never saw or wanting his buildings to be related to Frank Gehry in any way because Utzon did not see Gehry as a true architect, because of Gehry's farfetched ideas. In saying that, it seems like Utzon's Silkeborg museum shares a similar structure to the Disney Concert Hall. Visually you would believe as an observer these two architects had similar ideas. Though in interviews and books with Jorn Utzon, he explains that his ideas are all mathematically thought out, he does not randomly "scrunch a piece of paper" and proclaim his new architectural piece. He looks into geometry to create all his different curves, each line was thought out carefully.

Though i find it interesting that Jorn Utzon came up with a building design that was totally different to the current architecture that was being produced in that time. Possibly if the building was built, he could of changed how architecture could be defined, as in that time architecture was considered mere rectangular objects.

"But the world of the curved form can give something that cannot ever be achieved by means of rectangular architecture."

When observing the Museum's plans and looking at interpretated physical models of the building. The sense of a maze comes to mind or this carnival fun house where nothing really is as it seems.
