Submissions are invited for innovative designs for three new shelters to be
built on a high profile location on Blackpool's South Shore Promenade. The
competition is open to all registered architects internationally.

Three years ago Blackpool Borough Council (BBC) constructed an impressive
new 2km stretch of sea defences and promenade along its South Shore. The
potential of the promenade as a 'plinth' for a spectacular collection of
art works was realised and the Council appointed specialist consultants
(The Art Department) to commission and create new art works. The result is
'THE GREAT PROMENADE SHOW', a series of artworks commissioned from
Britain's finest public artists.

In the same spirit of reinvention, reinterpretation and dynamic change The
Art Department realised there was also an opportunity to devise an exciting
new design solution for seafront shelters on the new promenade, and hence
the concept of a swivelling wind shelter was conceived and developed.
Following successful trials to test the principle and set the parameters,
it has now been agreed to open up the design of the physical structure up
to architectural competition

The competition offers architects the opportunity to depart from
traditional forms and design a shelter that will serve an exciting landmark
and contribute to this series of major new permanent outdoor artworks. A
panel of judges which will include RIBA Architectural Adviser, Lorenzo
Apicella will assess the schemes and the deadline for submission of designs
is Thursday 6th June 2002.
