Hoberman Arch

Hoberman Arch

The Hoberman Arch was the centerpiece of the Olympic Medals Plaza during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Designed by Chuck Hoberman, it was used as the curtain for the stage, opening like the iris of an eye to reveal a duplicate cauldron in the floor behind the medals platform.

After the Olympics it was moved to the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Cauldron Park. It is mounted in place and does not open or close. It is illuminated at night with colored lights.
