Shooting Star

As part of the London Design Festival last month, British sculptor Alex Chinneck designed this upside down electricity pylon.










It was made specifically for this site on the Greenwich Peninsula because of its connection with an industrial past and  the modern Canary Wharf buildings as a back drop


A bullett from a shooting star contains 450 pieces of stell with over 1000 engineered connection points.
