#Transformation of #Place (#Digbeth, #Birmingham #City #Centre). Welcome repairs to Bordesley Junction, Grand Union #Canal, with supporting work to the towpath. The Junction is only a short walk from the new technology of Curzon Street and @HS2ltd. @BirminghamCivic @BhamDsgn

Not beautiful in #TheLivingMountain sense, but in a time of lockdown, our one piece of daily exercise is walking along a local #Birmingham #canal. The liberation of space, water and surprise, a staircase to hope and community. The mood prowls though. #CoReadingVirus

#RisingStars is for @AstonUniversity students. Join the award winning (@AwardsEducation )@nextgenawards @BirminghamCivic. Use your #Entrepreneurship skills, mentor #Birmingham secondary schools to deliver community projects. @aston_union @EnactusAston @AstonPress @UPP_Foundation
Superb #bdf talk by @Anna_Parker1 with insightful Q&A by @@markhipwell1990, @designfestbrum, @STEAMhouseUK. #materials speak #truth through #craft in the #making, interaction with light/colour, how they assemble to create spaces for work and play. Implications for all #design.
This session looks really imaginative - @Anna_Parker1 @interv_arch I'm looking forward to hearing your @designfestbrum @STEAMhouseUK talk! I'm fascinated about how #materials 'talk' and notions of #receptivecontextsforchange. @charlotteashby

@BBCRadio3 listeners will have a treat with #DebussyFestival legacy concert. #TristanMurail music is a revelation, plus its #Debussy links - the sensuality of last night's concert. @TheCBSO and @BCMG have triumphed in its programme! #livemusic - see the composer! @visit_bham

Are you 50/50 about going to @TheCBSO #DebussyFestival - brave the snow, go! A festival means everything is informal - the stars like @HelenAbbott1 perform and are in the audience. The professional attention to detail e.g. where/how the choir sits, remains. Be #inspired #curious

#DebussyFestival up/running! Wonderful to hear young and exciting talent from @BirmCons, @JLloydWebber. So approachable afterwards @TheCBSO Centre. Arthur Bocaneanu posed a key question - what is the balance of the organic/mechanical in the music? More today! @visit_bham
