Concept art: Duggan Morris Architects


I only live 15 minutes from the beach and it has been recently announced that the above confection of glass will soon grace its southern end.The beach already hosts Antony Gormley's Another Place and the "vase", with its walkway that juts out into the river, is the winning design for the Mersey Observatory, which will replace the radar tower that currently stands guard over the mouth of Mersey.

Looking north we can see beach snaking off for a couple more miles peppered with the statues.
