Hoberman Arch, Aluminium sculpture in Salt Lake City, United States.
The Hoberman Arch spans 72 feet in width and stands 36 feet high, containing 4,000 individual pieces connected through 96 panels with 13,000 steel rivets.
The arch served as the centerpiece of the Olympic Medals Plaza during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, where athletes received their medals.
The structure draws inspiration from the natural stone formations found throughout Utah, incorporating engineering elements that allow it to open like a human iris.
Located at Salt Lake City International Airport since 2023, the restored arch welcomes visitors with illuminated displays featuring Olympic and Paralympic Games logos.
Two 30-horsepower motors control eight cables that enable the mechanical curtain to open completely in approximately 20 seconds.
