Birmingham 21

Project: Birmingham 21 Sculpture
Artist: Anu Patel
Location: Birmingham, UK

Our architectural metalwork division, m-tec, was honoured to contribute to the Birmingham 21 Memorial, a poignant tribute to the victims of the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings. Designed by artist Anu Patel, the installation comprises three 15ft trees, symbolising remembrance and unity. These trees stand in iroko wood planters, crafted from a combination of Corten steel and stainless steel, creating a striking contrast of textures and finishes. Each tree features seven intricately designed steel leaves, with the names and ages of the 21 victims laser-cut into their undersides. This delicate detailing ensures a lasting and deeply personal tribute, providing a space for reflection and remembrance.
