In 1947 the conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra found a need for Sydney to have a musical facility that would be home to the symphony orchestra and also to opera and chamber music groups. From this, the government of New South Whales hosted an international competition for designs that would have two halls one for large productions and another for smaller events. The Sydney Opera House was the winning design by Joørn Utzon which displayed an exterior of 'shells' that was inspired by nature. To this day, the Sydney Opera House is Australia’s most visited destination for tourists. Furthermore, according to UNESCO, it is “one of the world’s most famous icon of architecture” due to its outstanding universal value for art and science. The building is positioned along Bennelog Point which is adjacent to the Sydney Harbor Bridge where it can be seen at all angles. The interlocking shells that are set on ‘the podium’ are of modernist style, it also shows a strong organic influence. The function of the shells is not necessarily for the performing arts center, but for it to be a symbol of Australia. This multipurpose performing arts facility who’s the largest venue is a Concert Hall that can seat 2,679 people and is a host to performances and concerts and was built to improve quality and overall experience of the performance. Not only that, the modern and organic design of the Sydney Opera House exhibit harmony because of it’s juxtaposition with Sydney.

The axiom 'form follows function' was proposed by Louis Sullivan and it connotes that form directly follows its function. An object that is made for a certain purpose should be made so that the object can achieve its purpose. In other words, the design of something ultimately pursues its purpose.

As the function changes, so does the form. Take footwear for example, there are several types of footwear and they all serve different purposes. Each customized for its use, like running shoes which are designed for doing intense activities, rubber boots which are designed for walking in the rain, slippers which are designed for convenience and etc. Each of these types of footwear are designed for their specific functions and if the form didn't follow it's function, then it becomes useless.
