Quantum Cloud, Steel sculpture at North Greenwich Pier, England
The metallic structure reaches 30 meters in height and 16 meters in width, featuring thousands of tetrahedral units arranged in a cloud formation.
Commissioned by the New Millennium Experience Company, the sculpture was completed in 1999 and stood as the tallest sculpture in the United Kingdom at that time.
The sculpture incorporates digital design technology and mathematical principles, reflecting the connection between art and scientific advancement at the turn of the century.
Visitors can observe the sculpture from multiple angles along the Thames Path or while crossing the river on the Emirates Air Line cable car.
The central figure within the structure emerges from 5.5 kilometers of steel sections, creating a mathematical pattern based on quantum physics principles.
