Nah, definitely not - the thing is totally solid and completely over-
engineered, just as big things like that should be.

I agree; mind you, it was designed for a five-year life, as I recall.
That's why over-engineering is a Good Thing!

Excerpt from BBC News online...

A giant white horse has been chosen as a new £2m art commission for
south east England dubbed "Angel of the South".

Once built, it will dominate the north Kent landscape, standing as
high as Nelson's Column at about 164ft (50m).

The Barking Barrier is 60 metres high. I wish that it had been built to look
like a giant horse - this would not hinder the functionality, and would have
added little extra expense.

That should say "giant barking dog"

- this would not hinder the functionality,
and would have added little extra expense.

His design for the public art commission will see a horse standing on
all four hooves at 33 times life-size.

Once built, it will dominate the north Kent landscape, standing as
high as Nelson's Column at about 164ft (50m).

Since it is to be standing on all four hooves, the structure will
also be about 50 meters long or even longer. And wide in the range of
10 meters.

quite a big building.


Cheers,

If the horse is 33 times life size, imagine the quantity of droppings it
will produce...
