The Sydney Opera House really is
all that! I had not realized how extraordinary it really is until we got inside, before it was opened to the public for the day.
It started as a truly abstract drawing of a feeling, a drawing of how one should feel inside. Yes the shells were evident in the drawing, but the liveliness an verve of the strokes spoke of the soaring music and the soaring views across the harbor.
Wherever you are in the opera house, you will have a vista and an uplifting experience os space.
When you wander the opera house you feel that you in a place
suspended out of time. The use of the volume and the use of the materials is transcendent. The opera house took over 20 years to build because of the shell forms. The science had not caught up with the concept. Finally it was determined that the forms could be made by segmenting a sphere. Brilliant!
