Solar Pyramid

Solar Pyramid

The Solar Pyramid was set to be a giant sundial and potentially the UK's largest sculpture. It was also intended to become the UK’s largest artwork, the world’s biggest functioning timepiece, and the world's largest sundial.

The design comprised of three towers, or gnomons, which lean together, creating an illusion of a pyramid.

There is no known location or completion date.
