Emergent, an LA based firm, constructed a huge cantilevering structure that hung from three mount points over the space. The structural system was inspired by a dragonfly's wing, which uses honey comb structures combined with ladder structures.

A symmetrical perspective from beneath the "Blessing of the Big Whale" (大魚的祝福) in Anping. This composition highlights the rhythmic, skeletal beauty of the steel pipe structure, which leads the eye upward to the mesmerizing mosaic of stained glass.
The thousands of glazed glass pieces create a vibrant, geometric map of Taiwan, filtering the night light into a spectrum of hope and heritage. It is a quiet study of structural elegance and the colorful pulse of public art in the heart of the harbor.

Una fotografía urbana de ángulo bajo que captura un tren "L" de Chicago transitando por sus icónicas vías elevadas de acero. Los vagones de acero inoxidable cortan el encuadre horizontalmente, silueteados contra un fondo de modernos rascacielos de vidrio y acero y arquitectura clásica de grandes alturas. Los tonos de alto contraste enfatizan las marcadas líneas geométricas, la estructura de acero y la dramática escala del centro de Chicago.
A low-angle urban photograph capturing a Chicago "L" train traversing its iconic steel elevated tracks. The stainless steel train cars cut horizontally across the frame, silhouetted against a backdrop of modern glass-and-steel skyscrapers and classic high-rise architecture. High contrast tones emphasize the strong geometric lines, structural steelwork, and dramatic scale of downtown Chicago.
The structure of the Bayfront Bridge which is a vehicular bridge along with the wonderful structure of the Helix Bridge (which is a pedestrial bridge) which crosses the water body connecting the Marina Center with the Marina South in Singapore. The Helix bridge is a new tourist location in Singapore, in the Marina area. The Helix bridge is a pedestrian bridge that connects the Marina Central with Marina South in the Marina Bay area of Singapore. There is a vehicular bridge right next to the Helix Bridge called the Bayfront Bridge. The bridge has an interesting structure, supposed to be made like a double-helix structure. The bridge is lit at night and provides a very interesting view. On the bridge itself, there are viewing platforms that provide a great view of the Singapore skyline. The bridge has a total length of 280 meteres, with a total weight of 1700 tonnes.
The Angel of the North is a contemporary sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England.
Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres (177 ft) across. The wings do not stand straight sideways, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward; Gormley did this to create "a sense of embrace". The angel like much of Gormley's other work is based on a cast of his body.
It stands on the hill of Birtley, at Low Eighton in Lamesley, overlooking the A1 and A167 roads into Tyneside, and the East Coast Main Line rail route, south of the site of Team Colliery.
Work began on the project in 1994, and cost £800,000. Most of the project funding was provided by the National Lottery. The Angel was installed on 15 February 1998.
Due to its exposed location, the sculpture was built to withstand winds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Thus, foundations containing 600 tonnes (590 long tons; 660 short tons) of concrete anchor the sculpture to rock 70 feet (21 m) below. The sculpture was built at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd using COR-TEN weather-resistant steel. It was made in three parts—with the body weighing 100 tonnes (98 long tons; 110 short tons) and two wings weighing 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons) each—then brought to its site by road. The components were transported in convoy—the body on a 48-wheel trailer—from their construction site in Hartlepool, up the A19 road to the installation site 28 miles (45 km) away; the nighttime journey took five hours and attracted large crowds.
The Angel aroused some controversy in British newspapers, at first, including a "Gateshead stop the statue" campaign, while local councillor Martin Callanan was especially strong in his opposition. However, it has since been considered to be a landmark for North East England and has been listed by one organisation as an "Icon of England". It has often been used in film and television to represent Tyneside, as are other local landmarks such as the Tyne Bridge and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
The sculpture is also humorously known by some local people as the "Gateshead Flasher", because of its location and appearance

And I'll burn your heart away
So come in my cave
And arrest me for my mistakes ..
