Le Monde

Goes Round and Round

The distinctive Sydney Opera House is one of the most magnificent architectural works of the twentieth century. It was designed by Jørn Utzon after his renderings won an international contest in 1957. Over ten million visitors enter the architectural gem each year to hear performers from all over the world. The multiple wings seen on the building are thought to represent numerous strands of creativity. Some have also suggested that they emulate the forms and functions of nature, representing clouds or palm trees. Either way, it’s easy to see why it is one of the most photographed landmarks in the world.
