| Over the last decades, the new technical means and methods, and in particular computing technology, has became more and more popular and efficient and their capabilities evolved exponentially in due time. This development has led to the present situation, where structural analysis has stopped being a hindrance to the development of projects with geometrical and construction complexity. The Sydney Opera House, designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, it is one of the most representative examples of the architecture developed prior to the disappearance of the structural analysis barrier in architectural design that tried to cross this imaginary border. When design work for the competition started in 1956, personal computers did not exist, nor did the software packages for graphic representation and structural analysis. Thus, to enable their definition and analysis, the proposed free-form surfaces have been forced to adapt to a well understood geometry as well as the shells have been replaced by fan-shaped concrete ribs, dramatically altering Utzon?s initial vision. This paper explores and describes the possibilities of analysis and design of the structure of Utzon's original concept employing the scientific, technological and industrial tools available nowadays. | |
