earlier this summer designboom wrote a story on danish artist olafur eliasson's installation 'your rainbow panorama',
a large scale walkway to be set atop the ARoS århus kunstmuseum.

with construction underway, here's just a quick update on how the building process of the work is going.
'your rainbow panorama' is set for completion by the end of this year.

which runs around its entire perimeter.

when complete, 'your rainbow panorama' will measure a distance of 150 m, providing a 360º view of
the city of århus, denmark.
