Exactly what the title says. These are the main steps leading up to the entrance of the Sydney Opera House. They're made of crushed pink granite. Although the stones are placed irregularly with gaps between them, the surface is polished very flat and smooth, and feels awesome if you rub your hand over it. And Joern Utzon took a lesson from the ancient Romans and made the steps the perfect height and width so you can walk up or down effortlessly without changing a natural stride pattern.

The iconic silhouette of Sydney Opera House has long been a challenge to recreate at any scale in bricks. My own reconstruction - at my signature 1:650 scale - was originally part of a commissioned skyline of Sydney Harbour developed for the CR Smith Museum in Dallas, in 2025. I spent the better part of a year refining that design to create my own, definitive addition of the landmark to add to my Brick Odyssey collection.
Several of the major challenges in designing this piece were:
• Strictly adhering to the dimensions and curving profiles of each iconic "shell" or "sail" featured in the Opera House, Concert Hall and Restaurant. The angles therein use numerous curved slopes and wedges which I had never previously used in a reconstruction up to this point.
• Clearly differentiating between the water of Sydney Harbour, the peninsula of Bennelong Point and the raised plinths on which the buildings are perched; all in an effort to capture these four tiers of the overall site.
• Furthermore, the added challenge of capturing key patterns throughout: including the chevron-pattern glazed tiles covering the shells and the scallop-pattern paving stones along the approach to the peninsula. The former were captured using various triangular and chamfered tiles; while the latter feature a novel technique in which 1x1 quarter circle tiles are reflected along rows, with the endcap tiles being necessarily cut in half to form clean edges.
And last, but not least, keep an eye out for Benny the Seal!
Sydney Opera House is one of several new works I recently had the chance to photograph, with the help and careful eye of James A. Vitullo Photography. 📷

L’opera Cenerentola è stata ideata e realizzata per elogiare il made in Italy e la raffinatezza dei prodotti di lusso italiani che tutti nel mondo ammirano e tendono ad imitare. Cenerentola è un’opera unica che idealizza la scarpa, da sempre oggetto di desiderio di tutte le donne e simbolo della moda più ricercata. Cenerentola nella sua eleganza si presenta come un sex-symbol su una base-scrigno che mostra l’oggetto più prezioso. In questa scultura creata con dinamismo di equilibri e sottigliezze, la durezza del marmo nero del Belgio è trasformata in un fluido che, scivolando ricopre e materializza l’idea. L’occhio scorre sul tallone dal quale s’innalza al limite del possibile un nastro che allude all’allacciatura alla caviglia di un’immaginaria principessa. Con sembianze di serpente dalla coda tagliente, ammalia la donna e l’uomo accendendo in loro un desiderio di possessione. Striscia sinuosamente verso il basso mutando in petali o ali di farfalla che dolcemente accarezzano il piede. Il tacco vertiginoso dalla stupefacente sottigliezza a lama di coltello dà alla scarpa uno slancio sensuale e nello stesso tempo l’elemento metallico dona un tono aggressivo-trasgressivo spezzando le curve continue con la sua geometrica verticalità.
Cenerentola, un sogno irrealizzabile: impossibile da calzare !
The artwork Cinderella was conceived to give praise to products made in Italy and the elegance of Italian luxury products admired and even imitated all over the world. Cinderella is an unique work that idealizes the shoe as an object of desire for all women and a sought after symbol of fashion. Cinderella’s elegance also embodies a sex-symbol. It is set on a base-casket rendering the object more precious. This sculpture was created based on the dynamics of equilibrium and thinness, the hardness of the black Belgian marble is transformed into a fluid silhouette, where the idea becomes visible. The eye flows on the heel from where it raises to a ribbon that entwine the ankle of an imaginary princess. With resemblance to a snake for it’s sharp tail, it bewitches both a man and a woman triggering a strong yearning and desire. It sinuously crawls downward changing into petals or wings of butterfly that softly caresses the foot. The soaring heel with an amazing thinness like the blade of a knife gives a sensual rush and at the same time the metallic element gives an aggressive-transgressive breaking the continuous curves with its geometric verticality.
Cinderella, an unattainable dream: impossible to wear!
Portone dell'Archiginnasio (Piazza Galvani), lato destro
L'Archiginnasio fu gravemente danneggiato dal bombardamento del 29 gennaio 1944. La frase ironica si riferisce ovviamente alla distruzione causata dagli anglo-americani.
The exciting new opera house is located right on the waters of the Oslofjord; it was constructed between 2003 and 2007 and formally opened in 2008. It was designed by the Oslo architecture firm Snøhetta AS.
It has quickly become Oslo's most iconic building. The most intriguing aspect of its design is its roof construction. If reaches from the top of the building all the way to the waters of the Oslofjord. People can walk on the entire roof, and on a sunny day many locals lie on the sloped roof and work on a sun tan.
