Seven seminal American architects who taught at the University of Pennsylvania designed the building.From another angle, the design takes a different shape, with a large pegasus statue taking pride of place by the water.This English company's sprawling opera house was made up of two individual auditoriums, separated by a foyer-restaurant area, with a sunken plaza by the waterside and a vivid red facade.
Another boxy concept was dreamt up by the Dutch-British husband-and-wife architectural duo, Paul Boissevain and Barbara Osmond.
