An Iron Crystal , The Atomium Brussels Belgium.
The Atomium is a landmark building in Brussels.
Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak,it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall.
Its nine 18 m (60 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected, so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
Tubes of 3 m (10 ft) diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre.
They enclose stairs, escalators and a lift (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the five habitable spheres, which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces.
