Cloud Arch, Stainless steel sculpture on George Street, Sydney, Australia
The Cloud Arch spans 53 meters wide and rises 58 meters above George Street, featuring a twisted metal design that frames the Sydney Town Hall.
Japanese architect Junya Ishigami designed this public art installation in 2014, though construction delays and technical challenges postponed its completion until 2020.
The sculpture represents a modern interpretation of architectural forms, connecting the Queen Victoria Building area with contemporary artistic expression in Sydney's urban landscape.
The structure allows light rail trains and pedestrians to pass underneath, forming a connection point between Park Street and the Queen Victoria Building.
The design required modifications to accommodate underground rail tunnels and services, resulting in a larger structure that uses more steel than initially planned.
