3D Model of Building / Views

Not a sculpture, not a monument, but a building...
Designed in 1958 by Andr Waterkeyn for the International Exhibition of Brussels.
Now it is used as a Center of Arts & Design.
It represents a crystal mollecule of metal, remember that in those years everything related with atoms & nuclear energy was a "fashion" thing.
It has 102 meter heigh or 334 ft.

Ive made one sphere transparent to show the floors inside. This is an amazing building. Tottaly revolutionary even today and I think for a long time.

EDIT: You cant loose this Atomium, made by CyberZorglup. He lives near it so he made it better than me

Yes, nice job Gerardo64! Did you use SketchUp? If so, you should submit it to the new 3D Warehouse.
