Hidden Foundations
The Sydney Opera House with its soaring white roof and sail-shaped shells is an architectural icon of the 20th century. Each year more than 1.2 million people visit take in a concert and admire the building. What they may not know is that the opera house is supported by 588 concrete piers sunk as deep as 82 feet (25 meters) below sea level. Without these the entire edifice would crumble.
A building’s foundation enables it to withstand winds storms even earthquakes. To ignore the foundation is to ignore the hidden key that enables these beautiful buildings to stand. Foundations are not exclusively within the purview of architecture. Our lives too have solid foundations — and paying attention to them enables us to function meaningfully.
