   Dec 19, 2019 · The answer was a sphere. The shells would be triangles cut from sections of a single sphere, with the meridian lines of the sphere coming together to form “ribs”. The four ‘triangular’ segments of the model can be arranged into the now iconic form of the Sydney Opera House.

   The glazed ceramic tiles of the Sydney Opera House. From 1957 to 1963, the design team went through at least 12 iterations of the form of the shells trying to find an economically acceptable form (including schemes with parabolas, circular ribs and ellipsoids) before a workable solution was completed.

   How did the Sydney Opera House get its roof design?

   • Between 1958 and 1962, the roof design for the Sydney Opera House evolved through various iterations as Utzon and his team pursued parabolic, ellipsoid and finally spherical geometry to derive the final form of the shells.

   What happened to the Sydney Opera House?

   • There’s more to this story, though. The entire construction period of the Sydney Opera House was beset with problems. First, the podium was found to be not strong enough to support the shells and needed extensive reworking as early as 1963.

   How well do you know the Sydney Opera House?

   • The Sydney Opera House is Australia’s best known building and is often hailed as the finest building of the 20th century. As it celebrates its 50th birthday this week, just how well do you know it? The Opera House is often called the eighth wonder of the world. Danish architect Jørn Utzon took his inspiration from many sources for the design.

   What made Sydney Opera House unique?

   • It would become the single, unifying discovery that allowed for the distinctive characteristics of Sydney Opera House to be finally realised, from the vaulted arches and timeless, sail-like silhouette of the Opera House to the exceptionally beautiful finish of the tiles. For Utzon, this realisation was an epiphany.
