nice... 1st impression though, looks like, it's sydney opera house. ^-^
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing as Arabesque. Is it designed by the same architect, by any chance? I like the thought of a Palace of Culture. Or a palace of anything really. :-)

I like the design of your opera house. And like Arabesque said it does remind me of the Sydney opera house.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
To be honest with you, I too thought it resembles the Syndey Opera House especially with this view from the lake. The Istana Budaya is designed by our local architect. He obtained the inspiration from a 'wau' (traditional kite) in flight.
ReplyDeleteHow spectacular!
