This week’s “Where in the World” is a fun and exciting monument called the Atomium. The structure was built in 1958 in Brussels, Belgium by Andre Waterkeyn and Les Architectes- Polak and was originally built for Expo 58’, the 1958 Brussels World Fair. The oddly shaped figure stands approximately 102 meters tall from the very bottom to the top sphere. The monument includes nine steel spheres connected together. Three spheres are currently (2008) closed for visitors, others can be easily reached by escalators. After 10 years since the Atomium was built it appeared in the background of the 1968 music video for Pink Floyd’s Paint Box and was recently the tenth pit stop in “The Amazing Race 19.” Renovations of the monument began in March 2004; it was closed to the public in October, and remained closed until February 2006. The renovations included replacing the faded aluminum sheets on the spheres with stainless steel. Since the renovations were very expensive, they sold the old aluminum as souvenirs to help pay. I believe the Atomium looks a lot like a fairess wheel and it also looks very fun and exciting. I hope that maybe one day I will be able to go to Belgium and visit this intersting looking monument.
This weeks “Where in the World” is the Atomium. The Atomium is located in the northern outskirts of Brussels at the Heysel plateau. It symbolizes a crystallized molecule of iron of atoms. The Atomium has been look as if it had been magnified 150 thousand million times. The construction was designed by André Waterkeyn in 1958. This structure became one of the major landmarks of the city when it was seen at the International Exhibition of Brussels. The Atomium was made of steel clad with aluminium. It is built with nine large spheres representing atoms joined by 15 tubes. The height of this structure is 102 metres or 335 feet. The Atomium is also a building where people can visit. Visitors use the spheres to walk in and elevators and escalators to travel to one another. They are installed inside the tubes. Three of spheres (2008) are unfortunately closed for viewers. It takes just 23 seconds to get to the top sphere from the bottom, which is a restaurant. The viewpoint below can contain 250 people at once. In March 2004 renovation started. It included replacing faded aluminium sheets on the balls with stainless steel. The pieces of the old aluminium were sold as souvenirs to help pay the renovation. The Atomium was reopened on 18th February 2006. I think the Atomium is a very creatively shaped monument, and someday hope to visit.
