We all remember the controversy surrounding Jørn Utzon's project for the Sydney Opera House. Now the extraordinary construction of the 'many sails' is almost finished. It is now part of reality and the landscape of the Gulf of Sydney. Charles Eames visited Sydney this summer on the final leg of his round-the-world trip and had the good fortune to be able to visit—with Peter Hall, the architect now in charge—the interior and exterior of these fantastic vaults and photograph them along with many beautiful drawings of the construction site.

On the final leg of a round-the-world trip in 1967, Charles Eames visited and photographed the site of Jørn Utzon's pre-legendary project.
