Blackpool Swivelling Wind Sheltersmore informationBlackpool is a frontier town, situated at the meeting place of two worlds - land and sea. The sea is often taken as a symbol of the unconscious mind. In its constant edd and flow it is also a reminder of the inevitability of change and reinvention. Part of the townsÕs raison dÕetre is to provide an outlet where the wilder, untamed side of human nature can be expressed, free from some of the structures that control urban living. Inspired by the fluid beauty of the sea, the proposed shelters celebrate and punctuate the realm between land and water. They embody responsiveness to the elements rather than rigid opposition. Two archetypal images of the sea are brought to mind by the shelters, images that herald the life and motion of the sea - fish and waves.
