Summary
| Description |
University College Hospital, Euston Road, London. Monolith (90 cm x 2.7m x 1.8m)_The monolith is made from a recently discovered Brazilian granite - a rich and exotic stone that combines many colours, shapes and patterns. The decorative elements represent minerals ranging from granite, flint and quartz to precious and semi-precious stones and are embedded in a green sand base. The stone is the product of a prehistoric pebble beach that fused under intense heat and pressure millions of years ago. The monolith has been polished to a mirror-like surface to reveal the exotic composition of the granite. The many elements of the stone can be seen to represent the history and development of the Hospital Trust and the bringing together of a diverse range of medical institutions into a cohesive whole. |
