Artist Thomas Sch眉tte shows coloured glass sculpture that will be on display at the Fourth Plinth in central London

An architectural model will be on display at London's Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square from Wednesday 7 November.

The coloured glass sculpture, Model for a Hotel 2007 by Thomas Sch眉tte, a leading German artist, is an architectural model of a 21-storey building, which will collect and reflect the light.

The Fourth Plinth Programme, led by the Mayor of London鈥檚 Office, involves artwork being selected for the vacant plinth in a rolling programme of new commissions. The first commission was Marc Quinn's sculpture, Alison Lapper Pregnant, which was unveiled in September 2005. It was taken down at the start of this month.

Born in Germany in 1954, Thomas Sch眉tte has produced a diverse body of work, including surreally distorted figurative sculpture, architectural models and ceramics as well as watercolours. He lives and works in D眉sseldorf.
