Atomium

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 31 October 2008 in Architecture.

The Atomium is a monument built for the 1958 Brussels World Fair. Designed by André Waterkeyn, it is 102-metres (335 ft) tall, with nine steel spheres connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
