_ The Hammering Man _
The Hammering Man sculpture in Frankfurt, Germany is 21 metres (68.9 ft) tall and was commissioned in 1990, for the new Messeturm (exhibition tower) building at the Frankfurt Trade Fair.
Hammering Man is a series of monumental kinetic sculptures of a painted steel silhouette of a man with motorized arm and hammer movement. They were designed by Jonathan Borofsky at different scales and painted black, to symbolize and celebrate workers throughout the world,[1] and they were structurally engineered by Leslie E. Robertson Associates (LERA).

According to Public Art in Public Places, the aging kinetic feature of the sculpture's hammering arm can fail due to poor maintenance of the electrical motor component, thereby compromising the sculpture's intended effect and integrity.


_ The Messeturm
is a skyscraper in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Its name translates as "Fair Tower" ("fair" in the sense of "trade fair") in German. It is the second tallest building in Frankfurt and Germany and the also the second tallest in the European Union. The Messeturm's ground floor area is just 1,681 m2 (18,090 sq ft). The Messeturm is directly located in the Frankfurt Trade Fair grounds. Helmut Jahn designed the Messeturm in the Postmodern architectural style.

Used as an office building, the Messeturm is 257 metres (843 ft) tall and has 63 floors. It was the tallest building in Europe from its completion in 1991 until 1997 when it was overtaken by the Commerzbank Tower, also located in Frankfurt, and only two meters taller.

The construction of the building's foundation set a world record for the longest continuous concrete pour. Ninety trucks poured concrete for 78 hours into the 6-metre (20 ft) deep foundation.

The 36.3 metres (119.1 ft) high pyramid on the very top of the Messeturm is what makes it most remarkable among other usual skyscrapers.wikipedia.
