Patel Taylor win Eastside City Park project
- 21/12/2006Patel Taylor with Allain Provost have been announced as the design team to take forward the creation of Birmingham’s first new City Park for over a century.
Patel Taylor were selected by an expert judging panel chaired by John Sorrell, Chairman of CABE, the government’s design advisory body. They won out from a field of six international practices which got through to the second stage of a global design competition for the park launched earlier this year.
Councillor Hardeman said, “Creating a new City Park in Eastside is a top priority for the City Council. It has been a key cornerstone of the Eastside vision from the outset, and has been significant in attracting major developers to invest in the area. As a member of the judging panel I can say that we had a difficult task choosing from the high quality concept designs that were submitted to illustrate each practice’s approach to delivering the park in what is a very challenging space. Patel Taylor’s approach convinced us that they have the capacity to deliver a stunning, new park for our city. They have an excellent track record of delivering major public open space projects in the UK and France, and it is a coup for Birmingham to have Allain Provost working on our scheme.”
The park design is composed of three interconnected gardens forming a centrepiece to Eastside and connecting it to the core of the city.
Andrew Taylor of Patel Taylor said, “Birmingham has shown great vision, our park represents a new piece of city infrastructure which will brand Eastside and create a focus for residents and visitors alike. It is a great promise, and our team look forward to working with Birmingham City Council to deliver it.”
