The display from Birmingham City Council included a vibrant Tolkien-themed exhibit with features taken from the author’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. In the centre was a large golden ring and at the back an inverted tree stump made into the character Tree Beard.

The Birmingham Architecture Festival will be hosted in May 2013 with a series of events designed to inspire the public, creative communities, construction professionals and architects alike to engage with the city in fun, inventive and thought-provoking ways.
The theme for the festival is ‘Take A Second Look’. No matter how long we have been inhabitants of a certain place, there is always something new to discover. The city of Birmingham is a vibrant, dynamic and ever-changing place and the festival aims to celebrate the quirks that make up this wonderful melting pot.
BAF2013 will host a range of events such as guided tours, exhibitions, talks, film screenings and workshops, all with the aim of celebrating the city, its architecture, its spaces and its inhabitants and hopefully encouraging all of us to take a second look.
Birmingham Architecture Festival 2013 are proud to be partnering with Birmingham Loves Photographers to present this talk on architectural photography delivered by experts in the field, Richard Southall and Ilona Zielinska.
Have you ever wondered how architectural photographs are created and how they influence you in your perception of the built environment – whether it be buying a house, choosing an office space or selecting a new venue for a night out? This is your opportunity to attend a talk by two of Birmingham’s most successful architectural photographers.
Windows Through Time – a celebration of 100 years of Chelsea garden design
To mark the centenary of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Roger Platts is creating a garden for M&G Investments that captures the design trends and themes of Chelsea shows past and present.
Roger’s design draws on new and old garden features – from shrubs popular in the 1900s to modern plant cultivars – to show how the British approach to design has evolved over the decades, but with many recurring trends that have stood the test of time.
The classic British design of sandstone paths threading through beds of perennials and roses is complemented by nods to the past and the present. The garden highlights Roger’s flair for planting.
