Architect Jørn Utzon envisioned a structure resembling sails, but early engineering studies showed the design was impossible with conventional methods. This led to groundbreaking solutions.
After years of experimentation, engineers developed a precast concrete rib system, allowing the iconic curved shells to be built efficiently while maintaining structural integrity.
Over 1 million white ceramic tiles were used to cover the shells, reflecting sunlight while ensuring durability. Each tile was placed with precision engineering.
After 16 years of construction, the Opera House became an architectural and cultural landmark, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
