Description; "Probably the most important book ever to be written about the Sydney Opera House. Many have talked about the saga of its construction. Others concentrated on the architectural and artistic qualities. But this is the first to give an overall assessment of its form and function. Now, in 'Reviewing the Performance', a calm and careful analysis has been made of all aspects of this remarkable building. In particular the problems of the brief, the difficulties of matching the design to the site, and the immense problems encountered during construction. 'Reviewing the Performance' also brings to light startling revelations about seating and acoustic volumes. But it then goes one stage further and examines aspects of ethics and aesthetics in architecture and how a building may become an artistic masterpiece yet never excel in its primary function. The text is accompanied by meticulous drawings by the author and the timeless photographs of the late Max Dupain." -- with a bonus offer-- .
