The Opera House Sketches :

This convined sketches of the Opera House depitcs one of the most intriging yet amzing shapes that the Opera House portrays to the public. From the back view of the Opera House the rigid and monumental concrete base followed by the three rising shells gives the viewer a sense of Indestructibility and yet fragility at the same time. A very interesting aspect and feeling. Similarly the interior sketch of the Opera House also gives the viewer a feeling of roughness and delicacy two sensation that are comparable to the first scketch.
