该装置是螺旋状薄层穹顶结构，已被切成两半并平行放置-就像两棵手掌在祈祷中汇聚在一起。艺术装置作品重达2吨，高5米，长10米，宽3.2米。

此艺术装置作品是为了思考自然而设计的，在穹顶的顶端悬挂着一个灭绝钟，每天随机敲响150-200次，表明每24小时世界范围内消失的物种数量。这一物种损失的估计是根据2007年联合国环境项目得出的。灭绝钟的钟声唤起了人们对生物多样性丧失问题的关注，发出了我们看不见的可听见的事件，这些事件在世界各地的多个栖息地同时发生。 《灭绝钟》艺术品最近在BBC Radio4节目《Front Row》中亮相。

Luke Jerram说:“此装置表达我对神圣建筑的兴趣，我希望公众喜欢探索这个新展馆。艺术装置作品“Palm Temple”参照了佛罗伦萨大教堂的彩色玻璃窗和钟塔，它既是一个实验性的光学亭，也是为公众设计的沉思空间，思考人类对自然的影响。”

The Palm Temple is an artwork commissioned by Sky Arts in Italy for presentation in Lewis Cubitt Square, London Jan-Feb 2020. The artwork is now on permanent display for the public to enjoy outside at the Chemistry Department at the University of Bristol.
About the Palm Temple
In September 2019, Luke Jerram was approached by the production company 3D Produzioni in Milan about making an artwork to celebrate the 600th anniversary of Brunelleschi’s dome of Florence Cathedral (Duomo di Firenze). The creation of the artwork was filmed the Sky Arts as part of a 90minute television programme.
Luke developed several concepts but the final artwork commissioned is based on a spiralling lamella dome structure. This dome is cut in half and the two halves placed in parallel, like two palms of each hand coming together in prayer.
While Florence Cathedral is a temple for contemplating God, this new artwork is designed for contemplating nature. Suspended in the apex of the dome will be an Extinction Bell, which tolls once, 150-200 times a day, at random intervals, indicating the number of species lost worldwide every 24 hours. This estimate of species loss is according to a 2007 UN Environmental Programme. The Extinction Bell raises awareness of the issue of biodiversity loss, makes audible events which are invisible to us, and which are occurring simultaneously across the world in multiple habitats. The Extinction Bell artwork has recently featured on the BBC Radio4 programme Front Row.
