I am a huge fan of the Sydney Opera House architecture. For me, characteristic roofs resembling gigantic, overlapping shells of mussels look like ships sailing on Sydney Harbour. Danish architect Jørn Utzon won the competition for the design and beat over 230 entries, although he didn't even meet all the competition conditions. He provided only a general Opera sketch. I wonder if he knew then that he designed one of the most famous buildings in the world? I'm delighted with this Opera, but the fact that this building cost 95 million above the first estimation gives me shivers. Yes, the construction costs exceeded the original estimate many times, and the commissioning of the building was postponed for 8 years. Because of the construction conflict, Jørn Utzon had left Australia. A group of young Australian architects completed the rest of the work.
