In 1952 the new South Welsh Prime Minister, Joe Cavill, announced the intention of the government to build an opera in order to put Sidney on the world's map and to build up the identity of the whole country.
The winning project was the one of a young architect, Jorn Utzon, who carried out the execution of an idea based on a unitary basing on which were erected light and erased concrete peels.
The project that I propose is a school of scenic arts and a residence for artists, located at south of the Opera, in the unevenness of a quarry that forms an unresolved limit between the main platform and the botanical garden.
The aim is to respond to three differentiated variables: the sea that surrounds the Utzon basing, the Opera with its basement and the botanical garden that joins in an inescindible way with the project.
The foundation of the Opera is perpetuated with the platform that I generate, which is fragmented in its relationship with the botanic garden, producing water channels that are manifested as breaking axes of the union between the mainland and the Utzon platform; a break that reaffirms the uniqueness and identity of the opera, without denying the context that becomes part of the project.
Limits, horizons, are concepts that are embodied in a project carved by water, a unique scenario that breaks into fractional spaces, a project of back and front, which perpetuates the Opera in time.
