I was catching up on news this morning and this caught my eye. The Sydney Opera house is unique in itself. I did not know that its double helix car park was equally unique. The story of how it came into being is a bit out there as well. Cheers

It might be unique in some way, but double helix parking garages are pretty common.

Interesting. I wonder why they built the roofing system with only a fifty year design life.

Very interesting. Have to show this to the wife, she is teaching her 8th grade science students the Watson/Crick DNA model right now.:)
