The Sydney Opera House is an iconic building located in Sydney, Australia. The project was initiated in the 1940s and completed in 1973, taking 14 years instead of the estimated 4 years. The project team included Jorn UtZon and Ove Arup as the main designers. The design of the project was a technological move that involved the use of additive architecture. The interiors were made of timber, and the ceiling was made of plywood box beams. Interesting facts include the inclusion of the Sydney Opera House in the World Heritage list in 2007 and the use of sea water for air conditioning.
