It is built in a section of Sydney Harbour extending into the sea, surrounded by water on the east, west and north, and adjacent to the Botanical Garden in the south. Sydney Opera House In order to build this opera house, Sydney held an international architectural design competition in 1955, and selected the design of Danish architect J. Wuzhong from 233 schemes. 1966 Wu Zhong resigned as the chief architect of the theater, and the rest of the interior design was completed by Australian architects. The Opera House broke ground on 1959 and was completed on 1973. The Sydney Opera House has a total construction area of 88,258 square meters, including a 2,690-seat grand concert hall, a 1547-seat opera house, a theater for more than 500 people and a small concert hall. In addition, there are rehearsal hall, reception hall, exhibition hall, recording hall, drama library and various ancillary rooms (such as restaurant and sales department), with more than 900 rooms that can accommodate more than 6,000 people at the same time. The appearance of Sydney Opera House is three groups of huge shells, which stand on the pedestal of cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure with a length of 186 meters from north to south and a width of 97 meters from east to west. The first group of shells is on the west side of the lot. Four pairs of shells are arranged in a string, three pairs face north and one pair faces south. There is a big concert hall inside. The second group is on the east side of the lot, roughly parallel to the first group, with the same form and slightly smaller scale, and the opera house is inside. The third group is the smallest group in their southwest, which consists of two pairs of shells and has a restaurant inside. Other rooms are cleverly arranged in the base. The entrance of the whole building complex is at the southern end, and the steps are 97 meters wide. The vehicle entrance and parking lot are located under the big steps. Wu Zhong's participation in the design competition was too simple, and later he encountered a series of complicated and difficult technical topics in the project. For example, at first, those huge shells were considered as reinforced concrete shell structures. After in-depth study, it is found that each shell can only be divided into strips of reinforced concrete ribs, then prefabricated in sections and then combined into a whole. In order to reduce the construction difficulty, all the shells are changed to the same curvature, so that each shell is equivalent to a part of the surface of a sphere with an imaginary radius of 76 meters. It took eight years to study and design the structure of these shells and more than three years to build them. The project budget is 7 million dollars, and the actual cost is 6.5438+0.2 million dollars. Sydney Opera House is a successful music and drama performance building with perfect equipment and excellent use effect. Those huge white shells near the water surface, like sails on the sea and clusters of blooming flowers, are graceful and radiant against the blue sky, blue sea and green trees.
