And to commemorate the Cathedral's upcoming 300th anniversary, John Pawson, a famous British designer, has been called to design a very interesting piece.
His design includes a half cylinder steel table top that sits a crystal lens at the bottom and top of the southwest tower, which allows for an expanded visual of the projected spiral staircase surrounding the structure. It's amazing to me how something so small could have such a remarkable and underlying meaning behind it. I think this is one of those structures which allows for visitors to just observe the tower and all of its beauty through a different viewpoint. Just that alone would make someone like myself want to appreciate the contributions that so many have put towards the Cathedral for centuries. Who knows? Maybe I can get a glimpse of it first hand in these next few weeks!
