Heatherwick Studio does does some pretty amazing stuff

Thomas Heatherwick and the Heatherwick Studio out of London have produced some pretty amazing work since they started up in 1994. Check out this sculpture designed to fill an 80 story space. The over all form was determined by pouring molten metal into water hundreds of times until they got the form they wanted. Then the form was scaled up and made out of 142,000 glass spheres suspended on 27,000 steel wires. Pretty good if I do say so myself.
