The design was nearly scraped when finally, in 1961, Utzon came up with his "key to the shells" spherical solution for building the sails. In this, the sails are based on the geometry of a sphere with the shape of each sail determined by the shape of a triangle carved out of the sphere. Using this model, Utzon and his team worked with engineers Ove Arup & Partners to successful design and build the iconic sails. This plaque outside of the Opera House commemorates this solution and demonstrates its logic.

As part of Sculpture for Strolling (2005), Pistoletto advises participants: "After reading the daily newspaper, immerse it in water then form a small sphere by compressing the wet newspaper with one's hands. Enlarge the sphere by adding new daily newspapers soaked in water. Continue this procedure until the sphere is a meter in diameter. When well dried out, roll the newspaper sphere outside in the streets and the squares as a "sculpture for strolling."
