Happy 20th Birthday to Glen Howells Architects. They’ve sent us this nice little book filled with photographs from their many projects over the years, including a few familiar buildings from Birmingham’s iconic skyline, such as the Rotunda, The Custard Factory, and Eleven Brindley Place.

A project that has been taking shape for the past year is just coming to completion with a film, book and exhibition. The project

records the personal life of Birmingham’s most iconic building, unveiling the many human stories that have influenced and shaped its existence.

The exhibition can be seen at:

  • the Central Library (6th floor) from 2 June to 5 July
  • Three White Walls Gallery, The Mailbox 14 June to 15 July

The book includes a DVD of the film and is available at The Art Lounge in the Mailbox and at the RIBA Book Shop.

Jon Bounds has covered this in more depth than I could both on BiNS and on his Birmingham Post blog, both of which deserve your attention.
