The Atomium, designed by Andre Waterkeyn, was built for the 1958 World Fair and was renovated between 2004-2006 and is one of the most innovative buildings in Europe. There are nine steel spheres with tubes connecting each, enclosing large escalators. I chose this piece of architecture as it is unique and innovative, and is one of Brussels most popular tourist attractions. The inside of the spheres provide the public with permanent and temporary exhibitions, restaurants and spectacular views of Brussels. Also, at night, the nine spheres are lit up with 2970 lights to offer a special show.
