From the Manufacturer Introducing the world-renowned Sydney Opera House. This masterpiece of expressionist architecture is the vision of young Danish architect, Jorn Utzon, whose unique interlocking vaulted ‘shell' design beat 933 competitors from 28 countries to win an international design competition held by the New South Wales Government in 1959. Combined with the beautiful setting of Sydney Harbour, the opera house has become a true symbol of late modern architecture and one of the most iconic buildings of the 20th century. This LEGO Architecture series interpretation of the Sydney Opera House was designed by US architect Adam Reed Tucker in collaboration with the LEGO design team.

I own most of the Architecture sets and for a small set, it is a fairly good representation of the Opera House, giving you the overall feel of the building. The one downside however is that the building feels "loose" when seated on the foundation, due to the fact that they are only held on by a 2x2 spinning piece. If you jiggle the set, the buildings will shake, and are fairly easy to pull off. I understand they needed to do this to make the angle of the buildings, but they should be secured in more places to make it more sturdy. Its a cute little set though, and looks nice on my office desk.
