As fresh as today's meaningful #architecture but from the late 1950s!

A commendable visit to one of the most magnified natural structures manifested as an eloquent #steel architecture, @atomium.official

If not labeled as architecture #parlante then what!

architecture well-beyond its time
imagination truly outside the style-dictated era of #design
an #engineering marvel that inquires how 'invisiblity' align.

Courtesy of André Waterkeyn (Eng.)'s concept for the scientific/symbolic representation of a unit cell of iron crystal. The vision was brought to life by the architectural duo - André Polak and Jean Polak - for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair (Expo58).

Oh gosh i remember seeing this in real life and finally understood why it was a huge deal. Because seeing it in pictures wasn't really impressive for me but in real life, the scale and structure just blew me away
