In 1957, Jorn Utzon won an international competition for
the design of the Sydney Opera House. His design was very sketchy and it took years of
engineering design to get it right.Construction began in 1959 but many modifications were
needed. In 1966 Utzon resigned and an Australian team completed the work. |
