I found this Video on the K4 Architects Google+ page and thought how go it was. Started In the 1960s through to the 70s, research chemist and amateur photographer Derek Fairbrother made over 20 photographic time-lapse sequences showing the demolition of old buildings and their replacement by new buildings and road systems in Birmingham city centre.
This film screened as part of the BIRMINGHAM SEEN exhibition (Gas Hall, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, 31st October 2009 – 3rd January 2010). The audio on this version was recorded in Chamberlain Square on 6th October 09.
CPD is every where, from the very first frame, it’s also interesting to seen the current library go up ,as I hope very soon it will be demolished.
