Tell me more....
One of the most striking and enduring visual legacies of the Olympic and Paralympic Games that united London in 2012 the ArcelorMittal Orbit was designed by sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor and engineer Cecil Balmond. It's extraordinary looping structure has become a byword for design innovation and playful invention.
Made of 35,000 bolts and enough steel to make 265 double-decker buses, the ArcelorMittal Orbit offers extraordinary 20-mile views over Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the London skyline. Steel was partly chosen as a building material for its infinite recyclability – 60% of the ArcelorMittal Orbit is made from recycled steel, including washing machines and used cars.
The ArcelorMittal Orbit stands tall as Britain’s largest sculpture, part of the Olympic legacy that transformed East London, and a landmark in its own right, transfixing and delighting visitors with its offer of a unique view of a city.

That thing was like an evil giant terminator robot casting it's glowing red eye over the Olympics. It symbolizes why politicians should never be allowed to commission art. Still, de gustibus non est disputandum and all that. Good deal for seeing it up close and trying to identify its vulnerabilities.
