Architecture
Our 3D heart image draws on one of the most photographed buildings in the UK.Birmingham's Selfridges store at the Bullring has become the City's most iconic landmark.
The building was designed by the Future Systems architectural practice, which was headed by Directors Jan Kaplický and Amanda Levete.
Their work can be described as bionic architecture or "blobitecture".
Its surface of Yves Klein Blue is covered in 15,000 spun aluminium discs, and was inspired by a sequinned dress by Paco Rabanne.
