Department Store in Birmingham
Future Systems can look back on a long series of organically shaped building designs. The architects have now realized their largest project of this kind to date for Selfridges in Birmingham, England. The clients wanted a forward-looking structure that would symbolize the renewal of this old industrial city. The gleaming silver curves of the building are visible from afar. Docked into an existing shopping complex, the biomorphic structure extends over the sloping site to the east and rises to a height of 35 metres.
