Architecture AND were invited to prepare design studies for a new visitor centre in the Opera House forecourt. Designed with consideration of the Utzon Principles, the pavilion comprised a soft form with complex curvature recalling the geometry of the shells.
The curvilinear exterior is contrasted by a rectilinear interior, expressed as a series of volumes held under the slender roof. The rectilinear geometry provides optimal configuration for display, serving as an open-air exhibition space with direct outlook to Utzon's masterpiece.
