Optic Cloak:

Name: Optic Cloak

Location: Greenwich Peninsula, London (near the O2 Arena)

Completed: Around 2016

Designer: Conrad Shawcross, a British artist

Commissioned by: Knight Dragon (developers of the Greenwich Peninsula)

Purpose: It's an art installation that disguises a 49-meter-high flue for an energy centre (a facility that provides sustainable heating and cooling to nearby buildings).

Design: Made of aluminum panels with a twisting, geometric pattern inspired by optical illusions and moiré effects. It cleverly "cloaks" the functional structure beneath, blending art, architecture, and science.

It’s called the Optic Cloak because it appears to shift and change when viewed from different angles — giving it a somewhat "invisible" or camouflaged effect, hence the idea of a "cloak".
