Utzon Center
[edit]
- ... that the Utzon Center (pictured) in Aalborg, celebrating Danish architect Jørn Utzon, is not a museum but a place where students can discuss their ideas?

- All checks out, and I checked about half the references for close paraphrasing and didn't find any. I did find an apparent conflict between sources 1 and 5 as to how important the artist's father's boatbuilding work is in terms of the centre's purpose: the article follows what source 1 says, that the building "also" therefore includes examples of Aage Utzon's work, but source 5 presents it as a joint focus: "Completed in 2008 to mark Utzon's 90th year, the building and its activities seek to manifest the continuation of Jørn Utzon's architectural and his father Aage Utzon's boat design legacy, where their work and philosophy provide sources of inspiration . . ." Also, I find the spelling in the article a bit confusing. Mostly it appears to use British spellings: harbour, centre, programme. But the title is Center (presumably based on source 1 and/or as a result of the Australian sponsorship) and I also notice the non-British immortalizing. Perhaps the article is actually in Australian spelling, with which I am not familiar? But since Center is the official name, I think it would be less jarring to have it entirely in US spelling or at least to change the occurrences of centre. Neither of these is a major concern and I fixed the typos I saw '-) I think the hook is good enough, but may I suggest as possibly more interesting:
