Sydney Opera House

澳洲雪梨歌劇院

歌劇院位於雪梨海港邊，坐西向東，地位超然，有君臨天下之勢。而其入口之處，坐南向北，要經過其皇者之大殿，然後才能到達入口之處。所有入場之觀眾，好像向其皇者大殿朝聖一樣。這種設計帶有封建時代的色彩。劇院之中央，正是氣場之所在。東翼為陽儀，西翼為陰儀，該兩座建築物發射無限量氣場，成為雪梨的重要的建築物。每當觀眾欣賞歌劇或舞蹈時，該寧靜氣氛，使表演者能夠發揮得淋漓盡致。More......
"The construction of the beautiful freestanding, sculptural tripartite Opera House was one of the longest contractual sagas of the century. Sadly, architect Jorn Utzon became the scapegoat of a scandalous political affair and in 1966 withdrew from his project. Sitting on Bennelong Point, virtually in the Harbour and overlooked by the great Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House is completely exposed, as three-dimensional as the orange segments its forms are based on. It is all roofs with an imposing base. These were made possible by Ove Arup. Originally the winner of an international open competition in 1957, it was a scheme that broke most of the rules. It was finally completed in August 1973 by other hands under the direction of Peter Hall."
