| Thomas Heatherwick's Bleigiessen |
The Bleigiessen is a 30m tall sculpture designed and made by the Heatherwick Studio in 2006. The sculpture itself is now situated in the Wellcome Trust building and is only open to public on the last Friday of every month and on Open House days. It is made out of 150,000 glass spheres and is suspended on 27,000 high tensile steel wires. It is one of the most spectacular works of the Heatherwick studios and it also won the Lovells Art and Work award. The tour to the Wellcome Trust also includes an explanation of how the new Wellcome Trust building was built by the Hopkins Architects.
