Misguided Architectural Tour

10:30am - 12:15pm

Forgotten how Birmingham used to look? can memories of public space be channeled back into existence by the A2RT architectural whirlwind?
A short tour highlighting the private masquerading as the public, the corporate as community, in a collective attempt to re-populate our experiences of the city. Phone 07005803623 to leave a voicemail of your memory which we will make into an online map of Birmingham

A-Z of retail trickery with the spacehijackers (12:45pm - 2pm)

Ever wandered into a shop looking to buy a few things on your list, only to find yourself coming out with twice as much? You may not be aware, but the reason for this is not sheer chance, or that you were just feeling frivolous - the retail industry spends hard time and money into creating all sorts of devious little means to make you shop that little bit extra. Every penny you spend in their shop is not being spent at their rivals, and in the high stakes of todays competitive market, every penny counts.  http://www.spacehijackers.co.uk/

No formulas... have fun, experiment, toy with a look that borders on dangerous. Our only request - go for broke, not for average. You are no ordinary beauty". - urbandecay.com
