oslo - the new opera house - part IV - SOS

more shots of this magnificent building.
i hear everyone is not happy with it. i hear they cancel a lot. and i didn't see the concert hall itself. but still. i. love. it.

this post will also - i promise - be the second to last about this opera thingy. and the last before i reveal exactly what it is that it reminded me of.



anyhow, the concept of today is what you step on. the italian Very White marble and its design. it is layed out in a angular pattern with lines shooting in all direction and as mentioned before it is sloping, some places so much that you really have to work it to get up to the top of the roof. furthermore, there are small differences in height that appears out of nowhere, murderous steps. this makes you walk in funny ways. as you can see in these images, people seem to be almost rolling upwards, dancing, climbing, etching their way to the top.

those words and these last two pictures must be the ultimate clue.
so come on,
please,
tell me what it looks like? there's no price, i'm just having fun...
with the idea of something
white
sharp
angular
dazzling
almost blinding
floating on water...
