Andrew Hazell was selected by Burton Upon Trent council to produce this sculpture. It represents a shovel used to turn grain during malting, part of the brewing process that dominated the town's industry. The shovel is rendered in stainless steel, which is often used in the modern brewing process, and stands 9 metres (30 ft) high. A 2.75-metre (9.0 ft) opening, shaped like a beer bottle, is cut into the blade of the shovel which allows people to walk through the sculpture.
Hi Lesley - I’m reaching out to see if you would be willing to host the next architecture challenge. Your image of the ICC received the second highest number of votes, and the winner is not able to host at this time. I hope that you can take this on!
