About the Item

This is an original panel from a marvellous piece of architecture build for the 1958 World Expo that was held in Brussel Belgium from 2004 to 2006 a renovation of this landmark started and all the exterior aluminum panels where replaced This panel has been rescued and turned into an artwork by 'Fred & Francine' in 2005 The 58 World Expo was an important event after world war II and all world countries displayed their latest technology, architecture, design and their bright look on the future ahead The Atomium was designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak. In the 1950s, faith in scientific progress was great and an atom structure was chosen to embody this The Atomium consists of nine iron atoms in the shape of a cubic unit cell of an iron crystal, magnified 165 milliard times Though the Atomium depicts an iron unit cell, the balls were originally clad with aluminium By the turn of the millennium, the state of the building had become quite deteriorated and a renovation was needed. Renovation of the Atomium began in 2004 The renovations included replacing all the faded aluminium sheets on the spheres with stainless steel.

'BANGA' Modular Space Age Architecture, Carlo Zappa Bungalow Int, 1971, Italy
