Tower by Anish Kapoor ArcelorMittal Orbit in London want to turn into the slide
Inside the 115-metre high ArcelorMittal Orbit tower, built for the London 2012 Olympics, I want to put the tallest and the world's longest tunnel hill
This project is still under construction called the British "Eiffel tower". Huge 115-foot bright red metallic design, created by sculptor Anish Kapoor for money steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal (19.2 million pounds needed, by the way), has become the main target of the Olympic Park during the summer Olympic games in London in 2012. The ArcelorMittal Orbit tower became the tallest building in Britain (meaning the public objects — monuments, sculptures, etc., but not buildings). Nelson's column in Trafalgar square, for example, doubled its nige@
Of the resulting asymmetric tower itself, the author spoke with irony: "This is the object with sticking out elbows and a bit awkward, but I think that this is it and wanted to do a bit clumsy". A major tourist lure ArcelorMittal Orbit is an observation deck with panoramic views. But it just yet.
By the spring of 2016 inside the tower you want to build a spiral slide on the project, Belgian artist Carsten holler (Carsten Höller). Start it will be at a height of 76 meters from the ground, and the path length will reach 180 meters. 5 pounds anyone will be able to describe in tunnel hill five laps around the tower and then move onto the final descent down the length of 50 meters. The entire ride will take 40 seconds. Suitable for all but serdechnikov@
"What could be more exciting during the descent from the ArcelorMittal Orbit than to do it on the highest and longest tunnel hill in the world? This slide really will look at the tallest sculpture in Britain under a completely new angle," commented project Director of the visitors ' centre in the Olympic Park Peter Tudor (Peter Tudor).
