Sails of Music
The Sydney Opera House roof was conceived by its Danish architect to be a set of sails, perhaps like on a clipper ship, protruding into Sydney Harbour on Bennelong Point. Inside are dozens of performing and practice halls for music and theatre.
Each shell or sail is actually a perfect section of a sphere, as though the roofs were cut out of a giant basketball and glued together.
