Sydney Opera House

The book is a detailed survey of the Sydney Opera House illustrated with photographs and drawings. Sydney Opera House (1957-73) is one of the best‑known buildings of the late twentieth century and perhaps Australia's most potent landmark, its white shell‑like forms inextricably linked with the image of Sydney itself. A momentous breakthrough for the architecture of its time, Jørn Utzon's building remains monumental in contemporary world architecture across the world.
