This is The Bean (or Cloud Gate), a sculpture made by Anish Kapoor. After a competition, his sculpture was chosen, but there were questions about how it would be done. So to do this, they had to recruit numerous experts and professional. When it finally went into construction, it fell behind schedule and eventually had to be revealed incomplete, but then finally completed at a later time. This is interesting to me because when I went to see it for myself earlier last month, being a very logical and engineer driven person, I could not fathom how they even finished this work. It actually gave me a fear of going near it because it might fall over and crush me, but it never did that. I will probably go over there again to try to figure it out.
