Sydney Opera House - the 'Red Book'
This 1958 report (known also as the 'Red Book') was presented by Jørn Utzon to the Premier and the Sydney Opera House Committee in order to give
a project which realizes in practical form the vision of the competition.
The report comprises: plans, sections, elevations, photographs of models of the Opera House; reports by other consultants on acoustics (V.L. Jordan), mechanical services (J. Varming), electrical installations (M. Balslev) and theatre technique (S. Malmquist).
The physical format of the report is a large paper format with some glossy pages used for photographic images.
