![]() ![]() Utzon emphasized on the synthesis of form, material, and also social function, thus his fascination and openness to world architecture emphasized and progressed his architectural design process. In our globalized world it is indeed very inspiring to be studying how Utzon connects his architecture with nature using his Nordic sense of the surroundings, and connecting his vision with world architecture through understanding the diversity of our world sphere. ![]() Our world is full of rich icons and images that people identify themselves with. The architectural sculpture seems to be compelling to the international society around Sydney, using its international morphological style recalling the shells and the sea culture. ![]() Jorn Utzon’s architectural designs and especially the Opera of Sydney have always intrigued designers for their dynamic structures, and transcultural aspects. The contemporary architectural main stream can be potentially improved to define a paradigmatic methodology of innovative and elaborate architecture, at the intersection of transcultural influences. When completed, this research aims to demonstrate that, in relation to the world's most easily recognised performing arts complex, the efforts of the original lighting design team produced a scheme in which the illumination – incidentally or intentionally – is specifically theatrical. Using the Sydney Opera House as a case study, the research examines the notion of theatricality in lighting design, drawing inferences from the aesthetic principles of stage lighting and applying these to the architectural lighting of this iconic structure. This paper will briefly discuss the interdisciplinary nature of the research into the illumination of the Sydney Opera House that is currently been undertaken to uncover the original design concepts and then relate these to the function of the building as a performing arts centre. For instance, the illumination remains an under investigated aspect of the edifice, compared to the construction or specific elements such as the glazing or acoustics. Visited by over eight million people a year there is considerable interest in this icon of the built environment but an interest that does not readily flow into academic research outputs. It serves as a symbol of Sydney and, often, Australia. The Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most recognisable buildings. ![]()
