A Celebration of Engineering
The curved wall above the entrance to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Leeds University bears this artwork, which is described as an abstract sculptural relief in glass fibre reinforced polyester, and officially titled "A Celebration of Engineering".

It was designed in 1963 by Allan Johnson who also designed the building, and fabricated by Alec Dearnley. The relief was listed grade 2 (list entry 1429226) in 2016, though the building itself is not listed.
