Faraday Memorial / 2023

Grade II listed sculpture completed 1961, designed by the celebrated Brutalist architect Rodney Gordon (1933-2008). Clad with stainless-steel dished panels and appearing to be suspended from a core yoke, alluding to Michael Faraday's discoveries in electromagnetic induction. Appropriately, the sculpture actually does house a transformer for electrical supply to the Northern Line. Elephant & Castle, London Borough of Southwark.
