Sydney Opera House: Sydney held an international architectural design competition in 1955 to build this opera house, and the design of Danish architect J. Utzon was selected from 233 plans. In 1966, Utzon resigned as chief architect of the theater, and the remaining interior design was completed by Australian architects. The opera house broke ground in 1959 and was completed in 1973. The Sydney Opera House has a total construction area of ??88,258 square meters, including a large concert hall with 2,690 seats, an opera hall with 1,547 seats, a theater with a capacity of more than 500 people, and a small concert hall.

The appearance of the Sydney Opera House is three sets of huge shells, standing on a base of a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure that is 186 meters long from north to south and 97 meters wide at the widest point from east to west. The first group of shells is on the west side of the lot. Four pairs of shells are arranged in series, three pairs face north and one pair faces south. Inside is a large concert hall. The second group is on the east side of the lot, roughly parallel to the first group, with the same form but slightly smaller scale. Inside is the opera hall. The third group, to the southwest of them, is the smallest, consisting of two pairs of shells, and contains the dining room. The other rooms are cleverly arranged within the plinth. The entrance to the entire building complex is at the south end, with a large step 97 meters wide. Vehicle entrance and parking are located under large steps. Wu Zhong participated in the design competition with a too simple plan, and later encountered a series of complex and difficult technical issues during the project. For example, it was originally imagined that those huge shells were reinforced concrete shell structures. After in-depth research, it was discovered that each shell could only be divided into strips of reinforced concrete ribs, and then prefabricated in sections before being assembled into a whole. In order to reduce the difficulty of construction, all the shell pieces were changed to the same curvature, so that each shell piece is equivalent to part of the surface of an imaginary sphere with a radius of 76 meters. It took 8 years to research and design the structure of these shells, and more than 3 years of construction. The project budget was US$7 million, with actual costs reaching US$120 million. The Sydney Opera House is well-equipped and has excellent performance. It is a successful building for music and drama performances. Those huge groups of white shells on the water's edge are like sails on the sea, and like clusters of blooming flowers.
