    Identify this structure


    This structure is the brainchild of the fellow below.



    Which structure is this?

    Ans. The Arcelor / Mittal Olympic Tower in London. Designed by Anish Kapoor - the man below. Pic 1 is an artistic rendition of the tower to be built. Somehow the English want to show the French (Parisians in particular) how they snatched London bid for the 2012 olympics right from Paris' nose... that too by erecting an iron structure a la Eiffel.
