It is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable buildings in the world. But the Sydney Opera House, the pride of Sydney's world-famous harbour, was "an unmitigated BITCH to build". For this doucmentary, we have researched archive interviews with engineering supremo Ove Arup, whose company managed to turn the seemingly impossible vision of aclaimed Danish architect Jorn Utzen into a landmark reality.

  • nice video but completely ignores the fact that the building was basically a failure in cooperation and communication between the architect and all other parties involved, including Ove, his firm, and the Australian authorities.

  • Great video. Really liked seeing Ove Arup speak. Mike
