''Cloud Arch'' is a public artwork for George Street, Sydney, that is proposed to be installed in 2017. The sculpture will be a ribbon of twisted white stainless steel, representing the shape of a cloud, standing tall. It is intended to "frame" the Sydney Town Hall, and be visible from all approach directions as part of the pedestrianisation of the street. A light rail line running up George Street is under construction and would run through the arch. The feet of ''Cloud Arch'' will be placed on diagonally opposite corners of one of Sydney's busiest intersections, George and Park Street; the sculpture will stand among the Town Hall, the Queen Victoria Building, and The Galeries Victoria. The sculpture was announced on 29 July 2014 as part of a $9 million package of public artworks for Sydney. ''Cloud Arch'' is designed by Junya Ishigami, and is expected to cost $3.5 million. Announced at the same time were ''Pavilion'' by Hany Armanious, a milk crate to be placed in Belmore Park, and ''The Distance of Your Heart'' by Tracey Emin, to consist of 60 bronze bird sculptures perched on poles and above doorways in the northern end of the central business district. Development applications for the sculptures are expected to be lodged by the end of 2015. If approved, construction will begin on the Armanious and Emin sculptures in October 2016 and on ''Cloud Arch'' in 2017. Immediate reactions the announcement of the sculpture were broadly supportive, with positive responses from professional critics. Popular reaction was dominated by comparisons of ''Cloud Arch'' to everyday objects, and whimsical nicknames for the work, such as "space noodle". The four other artists shortlisted for the George Street sculpture were New Zealander Bill Culbert, Song Dong of China, Australian Mikala Dwyer, and Ugo Rondinone of Switzerland.〔 == See also == * ''Cloud Gate'', a public sculpture in Chicago. * ''Gateway Arch'', a monumental stainless steel arch in St Louis * ''Queen Victoria'', the nearest existing public sculpture to the proposed Cloud arch 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cloud Arch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
