notesThe Sydney Opera House itself is one of the most iconic architectural structures in the world,designed by Danish architect Jrn Utzon(19182008)in 1957,and is meant to look like either seashells or the sails of a ship.As Utzons original design was little more than a preliminary sketch,it took a number of years for the Opera House to be completed while architects and engineers tried to figure out how different parts of the building could be completed.However,when the building was finally finished and opened to the public in 1973,it was immediately considered a masterpiece of modern design.Today,the Opera House is in constant use for operas,ballets,and concerts,and is a popular tourist attraction.Look and discuss.Do you know of any other iconic attractions in the
