Selfridges, Bullring, Birmingham

Some more architecture pics not from Japan.

When I first saw this amazing building I was surprised to learn that it was in Birmingham, a fairly ugly city in the midlands of England.

A little later I had to change buses in Birmingham so took the opportunity to take a few shots, but then went back to Birmingham about a year ago specifically to shoot it again.

Designed by Future Systems, it opened in 2003 and houses a branch of Selfridges Department Store.

The inside is not particularly interesting.

My favorite shot is this one, shot through the window of the pedestrian tunnel that connects the store to the parking.
