The Spherical Solution would become the binding discovery that allowed for the distinctive characteristics of the Sydney Opera House to be realised finally. The vaulted arches, the exceptionally beautiful finish of the tiles, and the timeless sail-like silhouette of the Sydney Opera House all derive from Utzon's decision to create the form.

Chapter 11: The Spherical Solution (Part 1) By the middle of 1961, almost three years had passed since Utzon had put a plastic ruler on a table and bent it to the forms he wanted expressed in the roof. It was this act which determined the shape of the roof in the Red Book. Three years - yet an adequate engineering solution had still not been.

As construction of the podium began in Sydney, Jørn Utzon and his team of architects back in Hallebaek explored how to build the Opera House's shell-shaped roof. Between 1958 and 1962, the roof design for the Sydney Opera House evolved through various iterations as Utzon and his team pursued parabolic, ellipsoid and finally spherical.

This model is a recreation of the Spherical Solution model that was used by Jørn Utzon to describe the way in which the geometry of the concrete ribs of the Opera House sails were derived from one single sphere. This breakthrough allowed the ribs to be prefabricated from a repetitive geometry.

The Spherical Solution would become the binding discovery that allowed for the unified and distinctive characteristics of the Sydney Opera House to be realised finally. By any standard it was a beautiful solution to crucial problems: it elevated the architecture beyond a mere style - in this case that of shells - into a more permanent idea.

The building is gobsmackingly beautiful from the outside, even more so when lit up at night. The inside does not disappoint, it's truly magnificent. The production we saw was by the Bordeaux ballet company and it was superb. Thoroughly enjoyable experience in a very grand building indeed.

The Sydney Opera House is one of the 20th century's most iconic buildings. It broke new ground for design and engineering around the world.. This became known as the 'spherical solution' and eventually 2,194 pre-cast concrete sections each weighing 15 tons were formed on site to create the flowing roofline people recognise today.

If you are into visiting historical sites, especially Grand Opera houses of Europe, this is a MUST SEE. With a seating capacity of 1,100 - it is truly a grand opera house. The renovation done years ago is still in tact and everything looked spectacular right down to the seat cushion fabric. The gold leaf and murals on the ceiling are amazing.

The Spherical Solution, which defines the final form of the roof of the Sydney Opera House, is one ideal example from many of the use of natural forms in Utzon's approach to architecture. By defining parts of the surface of the sphere that best suited the existing shapes of the shells, each new form could be extracted.

Various myths surround the discovery of the so-called Spherical Solution, Utzon's unified answer to the problems of buildable shells. The iconic sculptural form of the Sydney Opera House essentially relies on the form of these shells, so the importance of finding the best solution to the roof cannot be underestimated.
