Now we aren't usually fans of such blatant PR scams, but we like this one, mainly because it's creatively led by the infamous Office for Subversive Architecture (remember their last project?), who always manage to intelligently, make us re-evaluate our urban environment. And we like blonde beers. The bar installation - situated in the heart of the City's Broadgate Circle - will be covered in grass with the accompanying tables and chairs at different stages of growth, with a jukebox there to rock-you-to-relax (the Hoegaarden will help, too), with calming sounds as opposed to the latest Killers re-mix. |
