The design evolved from the interplay between architecture and nature: The Guangzhou Opera House design has been particularly influenced by the geology of river valleys and the way in which they are transformed by erosion.
The idea of a river valley is continued on the inside: Areas and zones within the Opera House, recall canyons for circulation, lobbies and cafes, and allowing natural light to penetrate deep into the building.

Custom moulded glass-fibre reinforced gypsum (GFRC) units have been used for the interior of the auditorium to continue the architectural language of fluidity and seamlessness.

Lotus Temple Baha i House of Worship, New Delhi, 1986 Architect: Fariborz Sahba (Iranian-Canadian)
Baha i Religion (founded1844) humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification into one global society. (Temples open to all denominations) God or The Almighty not constrained to one form: no idols No choirs, no sermons, no rituals of any kind Baha i scriptures are read or chanted
The Lotus: national flower or India; symbolizes purity and peace
Picking the form/design: the Lotus Because of their belief in the unity of humanity, it would in no way imitate any of the existing architectural schools of India, yet it would be familiar to the Indian people Prevalent in Hindu, Buddhist, Sanskrit, literature, art, etc.
Reinforced concrete structure 27 free-standing marble clad petals Petals arranged in clusters of three to form nine entrances; nine reflecting pools on the exterior (like the leaves that surround the flower) Marble from Greece (Pentelic) Majority of funds given by one person

To avoid construction joints, petals were concreted in a continuous operation for approximately 48 hours. Concrete was carried up the staging by women bearing 50-pound loads in baskets balanced on their heads. 700 workers on project All the steel reinforcing for the shells of the lotus petals was galvanised to avoid rust stains on the white concrete in the prevailing humid conditions,
