I took two groups of our BA students around Birmingham this week. Our mission: to find where the creative industries hang out, and to think about how design lives and breathes in the real world.

We spent three hours and covered a lot of ground. Unfortunately we didn’t get as far as Ikon at Brindley Place.

Here’s our route:

I have left this map open, so please feel free to add to it.

The students will be uploading photos and thoughts on the trip over the coming week. If you have any thoughts then do share with them!

The project was in part inspired by Stef Lewandowski’s creativity audit and in part by looking at Birmingham Flickrmeets.
