Today designs showing how Birmingham’s New Street Station will look after a £598m revamp have been unveiled. The Birmingham Gateway project, which got the go-ahead in February, aims to cater for more than 52m rail users a year. The designs by Foreign Office Architects create “a modern gateway to the city for millions of people”, project leaders said. New Street has long been criticised for its outdated concrete appearance. Work on the scheme is expected to begin next year. For more info visit BBC News and the dedicated website of the development: NewStreetNewStart.co.uk

Well, a gateway is what they asked for and a gateway is what we’ve got – I look forward to seeing it spring into life.
As an aside, I would seriously recommend that everyone takes a look at the architects website – firstly they have some incredible projects on their books but secondly, their site is fantastic – have a good look around!
