Outdoor sculptures that are seamlessly integrated into architectural designs often become iconic landmarks, blending art and engineering. One of the most recognizable is the Statue of Liberty in New York, a colossal neoclassical sculpture designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, with its pedestal and base forming a critical part of its architectural grandeur. Another masterpiece is The Angel of the North in England, a striking steel sculpture by Antony Gormley that stands as a gateway to the North, merging modern art with industrial design.

In Brussels, the Atomium is a unique fusion of sculpture and architecture, representing an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. Meanwhile, the Cloud Gate (or "The Bean") in Chicago’s Millennium Park is a mesmerizing reflective sculpture that interacts with its surrounding skyline. These works not only enhance their environments but also symbolize cultural and historical narratives, making them timeless attractions.
