The Atomium in Brussels -

One of the most delightful man-made structures in the entire world, the Atomium in Brussels, Belgium, is fully 100 metres high, nine giant silver spheres going up into the sky, a gigantic model of the iron atom.

These are photos from the daily life of writer and political refugee from the US, Dr Les (Leslie) Sachs - photos documenting my new beloved home city of Brussels, Belgium, my life among the people and Kingdom who have given me safety in the face of the threats to destroy me. Brussels has a noble history of providing a safe haven to other dissident refugee writers, such as Victor Hugo, Karl Marx, Charles Baudelaire, and Alexandre Dumas, and I shall forever be grateful that Brussels and Belgium have helped to protect my own life as well.

(To read about the efforts to silence me and my journalism, the attacks on me, the smears and the threats, see the website by European journalists "About Les Sachs" linked in my profile, and press articles such as "Two EU Writers Under Threat of Murder: Roberto Saviano and Dr Les Sachs".)

Built in 1958 as part of the Brussels World's Fair, the beautiful Atomium pleases the eye in an utterly unique way, evoking childlike wonder as you look up at it.

Still standing in a beautiful parkland setting, the Atomium captures the optimism of that long-ago world and time, when the first Boeing passenger jets began to make non-stop flights from Europe to North America, when it seemed the world would make endless progress and anything was possible.

The Atomium's shiny homage to the spirit of the 1950s, is no less stunning today than when it was first built a half-century ago. Recently restored to polished glory, the Atomium is one of the world's most stunning pieces of construction and sculpture, and remains a profound monument both to what was and what could be.

To reach the Atomium -

In Brussels, take metro line 1A (direction Roi Baudouin - Koning Boudewijn), or tram 23 or tram 51, or bus 84 or 88, to the Heysel - Heizel station (names are in both French and Dutch in bi-lingual Brussels).

You will see the Atomium quite spectacularly as you arrive, an easy walk of some dozens of metres from the tram and metro platforms.

The map with this Flickr photo set will show you the exact location of the Atomium.

To reach the Atomium -

In Brussels, take métro line 1A (direction Roi Baudouin - Koning Boudewijn), or tram 23 or tram 51, or bus 84 or 88, to the Heysel - Heizel station (names are in both French and Dutch in bi-lingual Brussels).

You will see the Atomium quite spectacularly as you arrive, an easy walk of some dozens of metres from the tram and metro platforms.

The map with this Flickr photo set will show you the exact location of the Atomium.

British Landmarks revisits sites that are both harrowing and banal, sites that are ingrained in the British national conscious.

News and the mass media could be described as a form of social tourism, where the audience discover a version of Britain through their television screen, in newspapers and magazines.

The series was made with disposable cameras, visiting that place you've always seen on the TV, creating snapshots that no longer remove the subject matter from daily life as the visual codes of the mass media do.

British Landmarks, closer to us than any ideal Heritage site, appear mundane and awkwardly familiar.

Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn for the International Exhibition of Brussels, that took place here in 1958, the Atomium is a structure that is half way between sculpture and architecture, symbolising an iron crystal by the scale of its atoms, magnified 165 billion times.
Work was started in March 1956. Made entirely of steel clad with aluminium, the structure dominates the Heysel plateau. The particular position chosen for the cube, i.e., resting on one sphere with a vertical diagonal, was essentially dictated by esthetical reasons. Such a position made it of course necessary to insure the stability of the structure by three bipods. The nine large spheres joined by tubes which comprise the Atomium, are arranged in the configuration of a central cubic system. These spheres were fitted out by the architects André and Jean Polak.

The Atomium was not intended to survive the Exhibition of 1958. Its popularity and success, however, ensured its place as a major landmark on the Brussels skyline.
Today, the condition of the Atomium requires renovation work. This will start in 2003, thanks to aid from the federal state of Belgium, in collaboration with the Region of Brussels Capital and the City of Brussels.
Dimensions of the Atomium

The Atomium is 334.6. ft. high ; the spheres have a diameter of 59.0 ft ; weight of 2400 tons.
The distance between the spheres, measured on the sides of the cube, is 95.1 ft ; the diameter of the tubes is 9.8 ft. The diagonal tubes are 75.4 ft long and of 10.8 ft diameter.
The diameter of the pavilion on which the base sphere appears to rest is 85.3 ft.
The base sphere rests on the foundation via the central tube of 10.8 ft diameter and twelve columns of 16.4 ft height.
The circular cut-out- in the lower part of the sphere has a diameter of 32.8 ft.
The bipods are 295.3 ft apart and their articulations are 164 ft away from the central mast. Each of the three bipods weighing over 110 tons.
The escalators installed inside the tubes of the Atomium are amongst the longest in Europe. The largest is 114.8 ft long. They can take 3,000 persons per hour.
The elevator speed – the highest in Europe – is 16.4 ft/sec. It takes visitors up to the top sphere in 23 seconds and its capacity is 22 persons.
A floor has an area of 2,583 sq.ft and the height between floors is approximately 14.8 ft. The restaurant in the top sphere can sit 140 persons and the viewpoint situated below can contain 250 persons.
The stairs inside the bipods – which are 115 ft high – have approximately 200 steps.
A scientific exhibition of the peaceful uses of atomic energy will be held in the reception hall, the base sphere and two lower spheres, as well as on the first floor of the central sphere.
