Whatever this circa 1996 structure is, it's not the Olympic Torch. Though it's certainly a prominent landmark, sitting right next to I-75/85 opposite the Georgia Tech campus.
While trying to find out what it is, I came across this Flickr page: www.flickr.com/photos/brent_nashville/9320930564/ Brent writes about his bewilderment much better than I could express mine.

We strolled around, and marveled at the wonderful architecture that was left behind since the mine's closure in 1989. A few old tracks remain, sadly without any trucks to recreate an episode of Jackass with. Cambokeels mine was originally the deepest mine in the region, the main incline sadly flooded and overflowing.
However, we headed along the horse level, desperately praying that a horse wouldn't come the other way.
Bathing pavilion is a structure for bathing and swimming at a sea shore. The structure extended from shore into the sea with a large platform. Now, it is a history buildings in hong kong.
It’s clear that it’s been a while since this area last saw some maintenance go into it.
Not sure why someone would either put or leave material hanging over one of the girders.
It’s a scene of an old place full of memories.
I think the light is balanced well and I also think there’s a nice level of detail in this shot.

Looking west back towards the quarry - the 3.67km long Limestone Belt Conveyor System ran inside a protective concrete structure, supported by concrete pylons, replacing the previous narrow gauge railway in 1966. After the cement works closed in the early 2000s, the concrete structure was removed, with the pylons being removed by the late 2000s.

[This is a set of 9 photos of a now non-existent structure] Built in 1921 near Woolwine in Patrick County by local builder Walter Weaver, the Bob White Covered Bridge spanning the Smith River in Patrick County, Virginia was demolished in heavy flooding September 29, 2015. These photos were taken May 24, 2014, a little over a year before the bridge's demise. It's original function was to provide access to the Smith River Church of the Brethren located on a difficult to reach portion of the river. The name supposedly comes from the large number of bobwhite quails in the area. The county-owned bridge was 80-foot (24-meter) long and was a Queen-post truss construction over two spans. The bridge was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1973; but after the flood, it was delisted in 2017. The exterior shows the board-and-batten aspect of the construction with alternating wide board and narrow strips of wood; they are situated vertically on this bridge. The wooden bridge was resting on three concrete piers. Shortly after the bridge washed away, efforts began to rebuild the bridge in adherence to the original design. I don't know how these eforts stand today. Jacks Creek Covered Bridge, also in the Woolwine vicinity, still exists although not for any vehicular traffic.

Today was a day when we got to break stuff in our structures class! In the previous semester, we built a flitch beam (a hybrid of wood and metal) and crushed it with a machine in the basement of our building that can exert tens of thousands of pounds of pressure.
This semester we are studying lateral forces and concrete. Our first project was to test various structural systems against lateral forces (i.e. wind and earthquakes). The way to do this without taking into consideration gravity or other loads, was to design a "building" that could be suspended from the wall and loaded on it's side. This would demonstrate how three types of structural systems behaved.
My group had to design a braced frame structure, and our brilliant and simple plan was sidetracked several times by not planning out our choice of materials very well. We chose to use aluminum rods as the columns, not realizing until it was too late that no continuous metal pieces could run through joints (e.g. floorplates). So we cut up our metal into bits, and then had to figure out how to glue it back together (gorrilla glue, anyone?). Eventually we settled on a combination of pvc pipe and epoxy, and then were able to string fishing line as our braced elements, creating a giant tension truss. Our original idea had been to make our building totally transparent, and had chosen to use plexiglass as the floor plates.
During testing, our building was able to sustain quite a bit of loading in comparison to its own weight (6 lbs.). Eventually it failed due to the columns not being secure enough in the base, being pulled out and demonstrating the property of "uplift."
Next project in a few weeks: we are casting concrete, making beams, and then crushing them! Breaking stuff is so cool :)

The interior structure of Salvation Mountain is quite a wonder to behold. A combination of tree limbs, straw bale, plaster and paint keep the whole thing from falling down. A big rain might change things...
厩構造と投影（虚と実） 2008
浅野 修
"戦後間もない頃に建てられた馬小屋を解体、移築しました。2007年に開かれた道立帯広美術館での個展では、多くの方たちの協力を得てこの梁や柱が黒く塗られて再生紙に転写され、小屋の構造体と対を成す展示がなされました。
十勝千年の森ではその制作ワークショップが行われたこともあり、この土地のための新たな作品として再構成され、池を配置して恒久設置されることになりました。石の配置は暦であり構造体が落とす影の位置によって季節を知ることができます。
映し出すものと映し出されるもの、本当は鏡像の向こうに実像があるのかも知れません。"

"Stable Structure and Reflection (Kyo and Jitsu), 2008"
by Osamu Asano
"With messages from people of the Heisei Era to people of the next millennium" Osamu Asano
The stable, which was built soon after World War II, was dismantled and moved to the Millennium Forest. With the help of many people, the pillars and beams were painted black and their prints made on recycled paper. The prints were exhibited, with the stable structure, at a solo exhibition held at Obihiro Art Museum in 2007.
A production workshop was held in Tokachi Millennium Forest to reassemble the structure. With the pond that was dug beside, it became a permanent exhibit. The stones are arranged to serve as a calendar. You can tell the season from how the shadow of the structure falls over them.
The reflecting and the reflected--what you think is the reflection may be the realty."
