One of the most beautiful modern buildings in the world, the Sydney Opera House, was never seen by its designer/architect once it got completed. The Danish architect, Jorn Utzon, died at 90 three weeks ago without ever stepping into the building.
Cost and delays caused such controversies at the time of the design, that Utzon resigned and left Australia in 1966 before completing the building, never to return.
He did receive the top architect prize, the Pritzker Prize, in 2003 which many feel was a way of honoring him for the building.
I have blogged about the Sydney Opera House here.
