2012 Olympic Tower Unveiled In London

The newest 2012 Olympic Tower was finally unveiled in London. The mayor of London, Mayor Boris Johnson, just unveiled the design of the newest spectacle to be constructed for the coming London 2012 Olympics. The designer of the said Olympic tower in London was Anish Kapoor – a Turner Prize winner.

I am particularly attracted to it because of the opportunity to involve members of the public in a particularly close and personal way. It is the commission of a lifetime”, Anish Kapoor said. Kapoor designed the 115-meter dark red tower very uniquely and rare. It is indeed another great landmark for London.
