Aedas Presents Illuminate Birmingham - Preview Show Thursday 15 March 2012

5pm to 7pm

Colmore Plaza, Birmingham

 

Birmingham City University’s MA Product Design students present sixteen illuminated ceramic model buildings inspired by the diverse range of architecture from our city.

Research for the project involved visiting the buildings by day and night and uncovering their unique histories and importance to the people of Birmingham. Architectural styles vary from neo-classical to modernist and brutalist to post-modernist.

Each building has its own story to tell, represented through the chosen lighting effects produced.  Along with the illuminated ceramic buildings, graphical presentations, original plaster casts and interesting mishaps will also be on display.

Aedas Presents welcome you to join us at this exclusive invitation only preview show, sponsored by Rider Levett Bucknall, from 17:00 – 19:00 on Thursday March 15^th 2012.

The show will remain at Colmore Plaza until Thursday March 22^nd. To arrange a visit during this week, please email: aedaspresents@aedas.com
