Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the Sydney Opera House has been recognized by UNESCO as a masterpiece of human creative genius.
Utzon created ‘a building that changed the image of an entire country. It is the first time in our lifetime that such an epic piece of architecture gained such universal presence.’
Architect Frank Gehry, on awarding Utzon the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2003
