Abstract

The article focuses on the sign of modern Australia, the Sydney Opera House, but it almost never came to be. It mentions that to design a national opera house for Australia, Jørn Utzon's design emerged as the winner in an international competition, but the construction process was marred by numerous delays and controversies. It also mentions that after getting rejected by three architects, Peter Hall finished the project.
