new mammon architecture
Just saw a documentary on BBC4 called Storeship Enterprise about the new Selfridges building in Birmingham. Very interesting - the inside looks as exciting as the outside. Things to visit - I'll do anything to get to the roof garden on Selfridges in London (and it seems that originally a 300 foot tower was going to be built on top of it), and looking forward to a complete John Pawson house that's going to be built in a new M&S store (Gateshead?).
Interesting that Patrick Wright picked up on the fact it's impossible to see the new Selfridges when on foot in the centre of Birmingham, as I noticed when taking these photos earlier in the year. I should be in Birmingham at the end of October, so I'll be sure to investigate.
Times like this I wish I had a Creative Archive link to offer...
Also coming up on BBC4 (Sunday 10pm) is a programme about contemporary art called Art Safari that may be interesting.
