Overview of the Revolutionary Architectural Concept: Sydney's Opera House Miniature

Abstract

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts center in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is one of the 20th Century’s most famous and distinctive buildings. It comprises three groups of interlocking vaulted “shells” which are roofs for its two main performance halls and a restaurant. Inspired by this information and bound by curiosity and admiration, the researchers come up with this study to construct a Sydney Opera House miniature. The research method utilized in this study is a quantitative analysis that uses purposive sampling to get data from (16) sixteen STEM Teachers, and (6) six Strand heads of Bestlink College of the Philippines. They assessed the level of acceptability of the Sydney Opera House miniature in terms of; Construction Materials, Procedural Methodology, Floor plan, and Presentation using the floor plan. Using main materials like plywood, illustration boards, cardboard, poster paint, and led lights, the researchers began to plan and build the replica of the Sydney Opera House. The final product of this research study, the replica of the Sydney Opera House Miniature, was assessed by the (2) two groups of respondents using questionnaires. The level of acceptability of the Sydney Opera House Miniature in terms of Construction Materials, Procedural Methodology, Floor plan, and Presentation are highly acceptable. Also, the respondents suggested and recommended that the researchers should add more colors and some features for greater clarity and creativity, it should also have a simulated musical device that will mimic the opera house. The first trial failed to achieve normal creativity with notable strength, having incorrect measurements from the floor plan and using inappropriate materials not suitable for the product. In the last trial, the researchers improved their creativity and focused more on the measurements to clarify the details for good results. The last trial achieved good results for a better presentation.
