Описание: We travel to and fro visiting and babysitting in Bromley in South London. This odd and striking tower Is visible from the main A102 road south of the Blackwall Tunnel, just over a kilometre from where the road dips below the River Thames. We saw the the tower during its construction and wondered what it is for. The answer is: a chimney. Specifically the fifty metre flues of a low-carbon district heating plant. Designed by artist Conrad Shawcross, it partially "conceals the flues inside perforated, folded panels of brushed aluminium that invoke the moir'e effect" – the illusory patterns that appear when one regular pattern, such as a fine mesh, overlays another." Quotation from the article: "The Optic Cloak" by Julian Richards.
