Architects selected for Liverpool scheme
Duggan Morris Architects have been selected to design a new £250,000 pavilion, which is set to be built alongside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in South Sefton, Liverpool.
The London-based practice's design for the building, which was chosen following an international contest, has been inspired by the profile of a canoeist in motion, and features a number of jetties stretching out into the canal. Arts Council England, North West, NewHeartlands and the Liverpool Biennial are behind the proposals as part of the Arts for Places scheme, a partnership which also involves local authorities and housing associations.
The project will lead to three public art commissions being created in three areas in the Merseyside area - Sefton, Liverpool and Wirral - through the Housing Market Renewal (HMR) programme. Joe Morris, director at Duggan Morris Architects, said: "We believe our design will complement the regeneration already taking place in the area and will enhance the work already completed."
