About
Landmark sphere artwork situated on top of MetroCentre's Debenhams store.
Lookout is a landmark feature on the A1, situated on top of MetroCentre's Debenhams store.
It is inspired by the enjoyment of shopping and old fashioned 'sweetie jars', taking the form of a glass and metal basket filled with five metal spheres, each measuring 2 metres in diameter. One of the spheres contains a time capsule created by local school children.
The artwork provides a memorable navigation point into the MetroCentre's red quadrant. It is 6.5 metres in height and is illuminated at night creating sequenced washes of colour.
Funded by Capital Shopping Centres.
