Title: Selfridges Birmingham
Post by: mittfh on January 07, 2008, 02:01:20 PM
Affectionately known by some as the "Birmingham Blob", this part of the new Bullring centre has certainly raised a few eyebrows over the past few years.

Gallery 1 (http://www.bplphoto.co.uk/galleries/selfridges.html) | Gallery 2 (http://images.google.co.uk/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&q=birmingham+selfridges&btnG=Search+Images) | Aerial shot (http://www.imagesofbirmingham.co.uk/php-cgi/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core%3AShowItem&g2_itemId=2998) | Night shot (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/graphics/slideshows/futuresystems/279.jpg)

Now I'm not expecting a perfect replica of this building (after all, it is a pretty odd shape and so would probably be very hard to model - especially with the footbridge to a nearby car park), but it might be fun to see if someone could create a building 'inspired' by this, retaining at least some 'blobbiness' (and if possible the night-time blue hue) - evidently the aluminium discs would be a texture (I can't imagine even the most determined BATter manually adding several thousand discs to the exterior of their building!). The original is a Selfridges store - if you're mad enough to have a go at this challenge, feel free to give it whatever use you desire (in addition to being a landmark!)
