Although there are many other magnificent pieces of architecture that exists in this world, I was always intrigued by the Sydney Harbour Bridge at an early age. Not only am I awed at the simplistic design of the work, but I am equally inspired by its construction process and how after so many years it still stands unblemished. Affectionately known as the 'Coathanger' the harbour bridge was opened in 1932 and spans a length of over 1 kilometre. It is a steel structure that consists of 6 million hand driven rivets and a painted surface area that equals approximately 60 sports fields.
