Name of Building: Sydney Opera House
Date of Construction: 1957 - 1973
Architect: Jorn Utzon
Location: Sydney, Australia 

I chose the Sydney Opera House because of its interesting and different form.  It is a very intricate looking building for the time period in which it was built. “The Sydney Opera House is a great architectural work of the 20th century that brings together multiple strands of creativity and innovation in both architectural form and structural design” (Sydney Opera House).  This was a design that nobody, during this period, would have dared to try, because of the structural issue involved.  I thought that it would be interesting to look at this building and see how it was able to be achieved.  I saw many different buildings and was drawn in by this one, because of the design and it is interesting to see how the space within works with exterior.
