Olympic Park Sculpture by Anish Kooper  

The first question Im going to ask before reviewing this post is:

Is this Sculpture Suitable for the Olympic Park ?

The second question Im going to ask is:

Is it Worth £19.1million ?

Firstly I do not agree this strutural public art sculpture will suit to be in the Olympic Park, Why? beacuse the twisting and trangling structure which is up to 115meter of height will over power the beautiful green landscape, yet it will not suit the surrounding area. Rather than an Landmark, it looks like a commerical some sort of structure only screaming out Anish Kooper rather than the Olympics, yet that is the theme right? I truly dislike it where it's been place, if it was somewhere else yes a nice strutural scultpure. 

Now forgetting about the location, maybe I could deal with that, but what is the cost of this structure. Rather than spending so much money on this scukpture, I think it would have been more wise to spend the money on more surrounding developments and improving London landscapes, roads, parking, buildings, lighting, drainage, and many more, as we'r going to have thousands of poeple visiting. I dont hate the design, I think it's an great structural sculpture but in the wrong propose.
