London - The steel tower, which will be one of the landmarks of the London Olympics in 2012, is expected to attract a million visitors annually after the games. This was stated by the organizers of the games, who announced a tender for the operation of the first structure in the Olympic park in east London.
The futuristic tower made of steel tubes was designed by the renowned artist of Indian origin Anish Kapoor. It will measure 115 meters and cost £22.3 million (approximately 650 million crowns), mostly funded by Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal. The structure, named ArcelorMittal Orbit, will be located in the southern part of the Olympic park between the 59-meter-high central stadium and the swimming complex.
Organizers believe that the tower with a viewing platform will not only be an attraction of the Olympics but will also become one of the symbols of London, similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The English translation is powered by AI tool. Switch to Czech to view the original text source.
