Kapoor set to build Olympic tower as mega-mosque dies

摘要

Anish Kapoor is understood to have landed a project to build a huge tower in the Olympic Park just days after another proposed East London landmark - the ￡300 million mega-mosque -hit the buffers.rnAccording to AJ sources, the Turner Prize-winning artist has scooped the Boris Johnson-backed contest to build a massive sculpture on the 2012 site. Kapoor's scheme, which would tower above the Olympic stadium and has the support of steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, saw off competition from Antony Gormley.
