Just a few Watercolour pictures of all the plans which HOK had for Birmingham ... Something a bit different anyway.

Sure would. Obviously the cheaper option got the nod. >(

Let HOK run riot in Bham with a blank chequebook I say, the current MBC looks dated already

Couldnt agree more but it seems whatever they do in the city hits a hitch - Curzon Student Village the latest example.

HOK still have a big part to play in Eastside but they don't have quite the level of involvement that they once had. I dunno if that is a good thing or a bad thing that several other planning practices are masterplanning big chunks of Eastside now rather than the whole thing.
