 Giant litter bin,
Birmingham by sourbugger
Despite all of this, it has achieved Grade II listed building status. This means that it can't be knocked down for redevelopment. The surrounding 'Bullring' complex was, and this has now become a shiny new shopping centre.
The Rotunda itself is currently being re-furbished, although it's future use is still uncertain. It could still work as an office block, or perhaps a hotel.
Sourbugger has a different idea. Perhaps it could become a 1960's theme park ? The 'mini' (in the sense of the car) came from Birmingham and any theme-park that features the 'mini' (in the sense of the skirt) has to be a winner. Plenty of sixties music, retro-bars and restaurants could make for a great venue. What do you reckon ?
Either way it is bound to feature loads of tacky neon lights and stuff. Leave a Comment

 Birmingham's new Icon by sourbugger
Birmingham has got it's Icon as well - but in a deft piece of planning permission, they got theirs for free.
The department store Selfridges formed the anchor tenant of the re-developed Bullring complex, and made the decision to cover their store in a kind of giant bubblewrap. For such a modern design, it is surprisingly well liked. On the other hand it sits in an area of what was a pretty horrible 1960's concrete jungle.
I spent ages thinking about how to describe it. The outside of a dalek came to mind, or perhaps packet of contraception pills. In the end 'bubblewrap' seemed about my best attempt. Perhaps you could do better. Leave a Comment

 Relaxing in the sun listening
to music... by M0B1US
To understand what this means to the regeneration of the centre of Birmingham, one only has to remember the ugly concrete monstrosity of the same name that used to squat like an icon to Soviet style post war architecture on the same site...!
Nowadays this massive site of over 26 football pitches worth of shops, boutiques and restaurants in the centre of town is at the forefront of the modern retail experience wrapped up in a mix of the strikingly futuristic Selfridges store and the historic St Martin's Church with wide open piazzas linking the two areas.
This really is an awesome place to hang out and take in the atmosphere of a city that is reinventing itself for the 21st century!

The Bull Ring market is found just south of the eastern end of New Street.
Although there is no longer a meat market here, the Bull Ring is still made up of several other distinct markets, which are held every day except Sundays and Mondays. Leave a Comment
