Sydney Opera House
21012-1 Architecture 2012 270 parts 1.8% catalog rarity Easy
The LEGO Architecture Sydney Opera House 21012-1 depicts Jørn Utzon’s renowned masterpiece, an iconic symbol of 20th-century expressionist architecture situated in Sydney Harbour. This 270-piece model faithfully renders the building's distinctive interlocking vaulted ‘shell’ design, which secured Utzon victory in the 1959 international competition. US architect Adam Reed Tucker, in collaboration with the LEGO design team, interpreted the landmark by utilizing various white plates and slopes to accurately represent the complex roof structures. The intricate layering of elements captures the unique visual rhythm of the real-world structure. This precise recreation sits on a sturdy black base, ideal for display, measuring approximately 16 cm wide.
