Many of us are familiar with the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
These structures are remarkable architectural and engineering masterpieces due to their construction with limited techniques and basic tools.
However, some modern buildings are no less so because the technologies and designs used in their construction are ahead of their time.
The spherical or atomic structure is inspired by the microscopic shapes of atoms and has a stunning beauty.
The building shines like a diamond at night with professional lighting and becomes a symbol of the city.
Spherical or atomic building in the center of Belgium
Designed by Andre Waterkin in 1958, this 120-meter giant is known as one of the symbols of the city of Brussels in Belgium with its iron crystal structures.
The structure is inspired by the iron-metal atomic structure and is 165 billion times larger than the actual size.
The 1950s were the era of the discovery of atomic energy in Europe, and this was the impetus for Andre Waterkin to design atom-like structures.
Finally, in 1958, construction of the atomic structure began, and the whole project lasted six months.
The building of the atomic consists of 9 stainless steel balls connected together and 20 rods that connect these balls.
Between the connecting rods, there are stairs that can be used to move between spherical spheres.
The support of these 9 spheres and 20 pipes is three strong pillars.
One of the nine spheres is in the center and the other eight spheres are around it.
Elevators can be used to transport passengers.
Spherical building with special architecture and professional lighting gives a unique beauty to the urban space.
Pasargad Company always tries to make it functional by localizing certain buildings and can be used for office or commercial purposes.
However, this building is symbolic in Belgium and has no use.
But Pasargad company has been able to use each of the spherical rooms with creativity and ideation and increase its economic efficiency.
Pasargad Company is a leading company in the field of design, structural calculations, construction and implementation of spherical or atomic buildings, relying on engineering knowledge and world standards.
