Work was started in March 1956. Made entirely of steel clad with aluminium, the structure dominates the Heysel plateau.

Such a position made it of course necessary to insure the stability of the structure by three bipods. The nine large spheres joined by tubes which comprise the Atomium, are arranged in the configuration of a central cubic system.
