This is an interesting project, and close enough for a visit! Have a look at the pictures on the BBC coverage.

Blackpool's Comedy Carpet
A "Comedy Carpet" by Gordon Young and Why Not Associates has been officially opened in Blackpool. This technique of decorative paving is open to us all as landscape architects and, if done with careful aesthetic and ethical sensibility, it can be a great addition to a scheme.

Sans façon began as an investigation between French architect Charles Blanc and British artist Tristan Surtees and developed into a collaborative art practice.
They undertake diverse temporary and permanent projects, and through their public art practice explore the relationship between people and place. “We see the role of the artist and art as a catalyst; raising questions and inviting one to look and think differently about a place; hoping to create an opportunity rather than an inanimate object.”
Current works include: Watershed+ lead artist pilot project for the city of Calgary, Limelight: Saturday night an international touring installation, and a public orchard project for Worcester University.

Welcome Home!
Today we took a tour of the John Dalton West building, which is to be the new home of the msa (which means landscape architecture too). It's a great building, and the refurbishment is nearly complete. There are lots of exciting spaces and its past as a forensics lab has not been entirely eradicated, I can't wait to see what new experiments we can come up with.
There will be a student competition to design some graphics for the outside of the building coming very soon...
