The plan to build the Opera House in Sydney became after the
Second World War in 1950. In 1954, a spectacular location called Bennelong point
was finalized, where to build the Opera House Sydney. After discussing on 234 designs
which were admitted by different architects from nine countries in Dec 1956,
the design of Danish architect Jorn Utzon’s was accepted. His given designed

Utzon was aware that his design required advance technology
to tackle the possible technical problems being faced by him, so he took
additional time to complete. It was estimated that construction will take
approximately five years with $7 million of cost. The construction for Opera
House Sydney was started in 1959 but due to lake of technology and facing many
other technical problems the work progress remained slow and the cost also exceeded
than estimate. Finally the project was completed in 1973 with $102 million
cost, which is 15 times higher than the first estimated budget. Unfortunately Jorn
Utzon resigned from project in 1966, and return to his native Denmark. He never
returned to see his completed master piece.
