Research Topic

An In-depth Analysis on the Design and Construction of the Sydney Opera House

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Christine Fiori

 

 

Abstract:       

 
 The overall goal of this research is to demonstrate how successful is the design and construction of a monumental project, the Sydney Opera House.  The ultimate determination of the success or failure in the construction and design of the monumental project will be determined by how closely it follows the initial layout of the architect. Successful collection of data will provide a section for the pending database of construction management of monumental projects. The four key factors that will be examined over the course of this project are challenges posed during building, external pressures from the community at large, design innovations by engineers, and personal influence of management on the construction of the Sydney Opera House.
