Standing 114.5 meters tall in London's Olympic Park in Stratford, the ArcelorMittal Orbit is a steel sculpture and observation tower completed in 2012. Designed by renowned artist Anish Kapoor, the structure combines functional architecture with monumental public art, featuring a distinctive twisted lattice form that dominates the landscape. The tower serves as both a landmark viewing platform and an artwork in its own right, embodying the sculptural ambitions of the 2012 Olympic Games site.
