Ratio - A Pile of Big Blocks

More like a confusing stack of white blocks with a gold one on top. Not interesting at all.

Ratio Land Art

Built in late 2010 by Australian artist Andrew Rogers, "Ratio" is a 44-foot-high pile of 53 giant concrete cubes, each weighing 4.5 tons. The top cube is covered in gold leaf. Rogers says that Ratio is based on the mathematical Fibonacci sequence. The sculpture cost over $145,000, and was paid for by a man who is blind.
