Located in the forecourt of the Green Chemical Futures Building, James Angus’s sculpture Built Unbuilt Unbuildable is inspired by the form of a C60 molecule, known colloquially as a “Bucky ball” and named after the futuristic designer of geodesic shelters, Buckminster Fuller. The Bucky ball is a cage-like, fused-ring structure that resembles the shape of a soccer ball  and is considered extremely stable.
