Constructing Anish Kapoor's Orbit: time-lapse film It's big, it's red and you can see it from 10 miles away. Finally, after two years of planning wrangles, Britain's largest public sculpture towers over the Olympic park. In order to minimise disruption, the Orbit was put up without scaffolding, and essentially by three men: one in a crane and two rising slowly on cherry pickers, bolting the ultimate Meccano together piece by piece http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/video/2012/may/06/anish-kapoor-orbit-olympics-timelapse Interesting from an engineering viewpoint, only two steel errectors and a crane operator. But not too interested in a folly, being built at my expense, would have preferred a reduction in fuel tax, or something of the likes.
