Aspire, Steel sculpture at Jubilee Campus in Nottingham, England
The red and orange steel tower rises 60 meters into the sky, featuring a hyperboloid structure with a diameter of 4.8 meters at its base.
The construction of this metal sculpture in 2008 required 23 weeks of fabrication by Watson Steel Structures in Bolton before its installation at the university campus.
The name of this structure emerged from a naming competition among university staff and students, reflecting the educational institution's connection to its art.
The structure remains illuminated during nighttime hours and stands freely accessible to visitors within the University of Nottingham's Jubilee Campus grounds.
The 854-tonne metal sculpture stands taller than Nelson's Column and the Angel of the North, requiring an 8-meter concrete foundation to support its mass.
