How on earth could this expand to requiring the British tax payer to stump up £25m to see the thing built? MACE were responsible for the original costings for the various schemes at competition stage, how the hell did they get it so wrong?!

Awesome… especially seeing it afar… upclose is weird.

@Mark Peacock “A- MAZ-ING, heatherwick has done it again!!”
Indeed, it seems so … Heatherwick has apparently taken the expo’s ‘sustainability’ theme and recycled the structure of ‘B of the Bang’. Let’s hope bits don’t start dropping off ‘seed like’ as they were reported to do on that earlier public space piece.
