Sustainability isn't limited to grand architectural feats like the Sydney Opera House. It's equally important to consider how we can incorporate eco-friendly principles into smaller-scale projects and everyday operations.

💡DID YOU KNOW?💡 💸 From 7 to 102 Million: The Sydney Opera House Budget Leap! 💸 The original budget for the Sydney Opera House was AUD 7 million, but by the time it was completed in 1973, the cost had ballooned to AUD 102 million!!! 😲 This illustrates a phenomenon known as "cost overrun," which is quite common in large projects, where the actual cost far exceeds the initial estimates. The Sydney Opera House is a famous example, showcasing how difficult it can be to accurately estimate the total cost of a big project. Predicting the total cost of complex projects involves a combination of thorough planning, continuous monitoring, and flexibility. It requires a balance between detailed upfront planning and adaptability to change! #ProjectManagement #CostPlanning #SydneyOperaHouse #CostEstimation #RabelloEngineering

And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful Haydn" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful Wozzeck" And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?" Indeterminacy is at the core of Europeras 3 & 4: from the arias sung to the costumes worn, each decision about the production is made using chance procedures. On the Detroit Opera blog, Matthew Principe, Director of Media and Special Projects, details how the piano parts for Europera 3 were selected (randomly) and how they will be juxtaposed with bits and pieces of famous opera arias. What do opera production and furniture building have in common? The old adage “Follow the instructions!” Read more at https://lnkd.in/gWqKVNiU

Link Between Strategy Discovery & Sydney Opera House Nothing prepares you for the beauty of the Sydney Opera House. Its location in a gorgeous harbour with water on three sides is breath taking. My book, Strategy Discovery, has travelled to "see" it. Building the Sydney Opera House wasn't like the usual construction. It was a journey of discovery. Nothing like it had been built before and the engineering challenges were immense. This is just part of its journey: "The entire construction period of the Sydney Opera House was beset with problems. First, the podium was found to be not strong enough to support the shells and needed extensive reworking as early as 1963. Then the problem of the shells, which were elliptical, parabolic and finally spherical, took six years to resolve." The whole project took 14 years to complete and, of course, was way over budget. And what does this have to do with Strategy Discovery? Put simply, 1) you learn as you go and 2) you learn from outsiders. So, the next time you embark on your strategic planning workshop just remember it's always a work-in-progress. You won't have all the answers when you finish. Don't expect to. If you'd like to know more, the link to my book is in the comments below. Cheers.

Dance is Design, too. I started to dance better thanks to Design System Thinking and Motion Design principles. Further, there is a field called Stage Design. Look at it with a conceptual eye, and you'll see the work at play. #Dance #Art #Technology #Shadow #Light #Highlight #Reflection #Collective #Growth #InnovationCulture

#emenidesopera #vasilstole By GEORGE LEOTSAKOS THE ACTION OF THE OPERA Eumenides, begins in Apollo’s temple in Delphi. One of the priests finds Orestes before the altar pleading to be saved from the Erinnyes (Furies) who are now sleeping, exhausted from attempting to persecute him. At that moment, the ghost of Queen Clytaemnestra appears. She awakens the Erinnyes, reproaching them for failing to punish Orestes and criticizes Apollo for having offered shelter to this criminal. The action then moves to Athens, where according to Apollo’s decision, Orestes will appear before a court to be judged for his crimes. The young hero, following the advice of Apollo, arrives there and embraces the statue of the goddess Pallas Athena, begging her to protect him from the Erinnyes, who persecute him relentlessly. The opera itself is in three acts, including an overture, 17 separate numbers (scenes) and three orchestral interludes: Act One: overture, numbers 1-7, and two interludes: the first between nos 1 and 2, and the second (performed by folk instruments) after no. 7. Act Two: nos 8-16, with an interlude between nos 14 and 15. Act Three (Finale): no. 17. Considering Aeschylus text almost ready for his purposes, Tole has set it to music almost in its entirety, with the exception of some purely narrative parts, which delayed the action. Concluding this short introduction, we consider Vasil S. Tole’s Eumenides a score worthy of wide, international propagation, and above all, a fully staged performance. We wholeheartedly wish and hope that tonight’s world première, in concert form, will only be the beginning of a brilliant career for this work. https://lnkd.in/gxnTnSTu

***DID YOU KNOW? CONSTRUCTION DISASTER EDITION*** The Sydney's Opera House was the world's biggest planning disaster! In line with sustainability becoming a standard practice and building codes changing nationally, I thought it would be worth sharing the impact of poor planning and design. 1. Budgeted at an initial cost of $7 million, the Opera House ended up costing more than $100 million and took more than a decade to construct. 2. It took 14 years years to build and now generates a revenue of $750million per year on an average that's over billions of dollars worth of loss as the project was set to be completed within 4 years. #constructiondesign #constructiondefect
