| The
redevelopment of Birmingham’s Bullring creates
a new destination within the Cityscape. Free of vehicular
traffic it comprises three key elements: Rotunda Square
with its ‘Wands’ providing the node connection
to the existing thoroughfares; St Martin’s walk
linking down through the development; and St Martin’s
Square with St Martin’s Church the focus. The
lighting within each of these elements is fully integrated
into the fabric and details. This eliminates the pedestrian
clutter and fussiness of multiple lighting columns,
relying on visual emphasis and focus to critical transition
routes, steps and ramps with highlighting to define
activity and provide visual hierarchy.
