There are not many modern buildings in the UK that are instantly recognisable. It's not that we're short of great architecture but apart from, say, the London O2 and Belfast's Titanic Museum, there just aren't many modern icons. The Selfridges building, though, clad in metal discs, is iconic in a way that very few other buildings could hope to be. It is the highlight of the remodelled Birmingham Bullring.
This day, under a glowering sky, was the first time I had ever seen it close-up. It has the wow factor in spades.
