I am no architect, but based on the definitions of the article this building has no symmetry or balance whatsoever,
and secondary masses dominate the primary masses:

Or then I just misunderstood the article completely.

- cpr 10y agoNo, you're right. The Opera House is a visual disaster.
- mcphage 10y agoI think you misunderstood the article completely.
- beefield 10y agoYes. I just noted following sentence: "These same principles do not always apply to Modernist or even canonically Postmodern architecture. These principles are for the classical or traditional architecture most residential homes are modeled after."
- mcphage 10y agoOh, good. I would have pasted it in but I'm on my phone and it's a pain in the butt :-)
- scribu 10y agoI think the picture you posted is of the side of the building. This would be the facade, which looks pretty balanced to me: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CgY4n5BsK9o/VafsZ-ccfcI/AAAAAAAAVSE/hwiiUfAjLnA/s1600/Sydney%2BOpera%2BHouse.JPG http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CgY4n5BsK9o/VafsZ-ccfcI/AAAAAAAAVS...
