Seeing the spectacular curves of Oprah House

| |

My first ever visit to one of the most profound and iconic building sites of this century,  the Oprah house in Sydney, a master piece by Danish architect John Utzon. I was surprised to learn that it all started off back in 1957, when he won the design competition amidst 233 entries by architects from 32 countries across the world.  It is also considered to be one of the first examples of the use of computer-aided-design. Modern architecture paves the way half a century ago!
