   The eventual realisation that the form of the Sydney Opera House's shells could be derived from the surface of a sphere marked a milestone in 20th century architecture. To work out how to build the shells, the engineers at Arup & Partners needed to express the shell shapes mathematically.

   Oct 19, 2023 · Photo: Dylan Coker. The space between the two giant shells is jokingly referred to as the “cleavage” and boasts one of the best views of Sydney Harbour. More than 10,000 people from over 90 different countries helped create the magnificent white sails. From the day building started in 1959, Sydneysiders watched it take shape.

   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.

   The main shells are built out rib by rib, from the side shells. As the segments for a rib are positioned they are jointed with an epoxy resin to transfer shear and stressing loads. The last step is to locate a precast keying ridge continuous.

   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 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.

   What happened to the precast parts of the Sydney Opera House?

   • The surplus was trucked to Long Bay jail for storage. The precast segments were put together one by one – like a giant Lego work – and stressed together in the same way a bridge is built. The last and highest segment on the roof of the Sydney Opera House is moved into position. Martin Brannan
