SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE & HARBOUR

The Sydney Opera House, for example, was the creation of an architect from Denmark. In 1957, he was announced as the winner of an international competition to provide a design for the National Opera House of Sydney. He had a vision of a curved, sculptural building on the harbor. This vision was radically in contrast with the more popular rectangular and cube shapes of what was then modern architecture.

This beautiful structure transformed the image of an entire nation while at the same time transforming the career of Jorn Utzon. The premier of New South Wales announced a competition in 1956 for the design of a Sydney Opera House. The competition attracted an incredible 200+ entries from around the world. Jorn had previously won a few smaller architectural competitions but little did he realize that his unique concept for this competition would make him world-renowned.

There is no doubt that the Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of human creativity. In 2007, it was added to the prestigious list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The list of sites includes outstanding architecture such as the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, and the ancient pyramids. The Sydney Opera House has the unique distinction of being the youngest cultural site on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

A comment from UNESCO stated that the opera house was a visionary and daring experiment that provided an enduring influence on 20th century emergent architecture. It has a design that represents an extraordinary response and interpretation to the setting in Sydney Harbor. The structure is a great artistic icon and monument that is accessible to the world at large.
