Architects are being offered the chance to redesign Birminghams Centenary Square in a new competition launched by the city council.

With the transformation of surrounding buildings underway with the new Library of Birmingham finished and work on Paradise Circus, Arena Central and the Metro extension due to start - the council believes it is now the time to look at the square itself.

A competition for the public space is now being launched through the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Landscape Institute on behalf of the city council.

The competition is open to registered architects, landscape architects, urban designers and students of these disciplines worldwide.

And with Enterprise Zone funding available, as well as public realm spin off cash from the various developments there is likely to be funding on the table to turn any designs into a reality.

Council deputy leader Ian Ward said: This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for designers and the city council to shape what we hope will become a space accessible to both residents and visitors.

I am looking forward to seeing some truly innovative ideas put forward by designers from around the world.

Architect Emmanuel Manny Miana makes his presentation in the World Architectural Festival in Singapore By Margarita L. Chan |Philippine Daily Inquirer

ARCHITECT Emmanuel MannyMiana giving his 10-minute presentation to a three-member jury

PIONEERING Philippine team at the WAF 2014 in Singapore: Emmanuel Miana and Bienvenido Tantoco Jr.

SINGAPOREFor the first time, a Filipino is on the shortlist of this years World Architectural Festival (WAF), the worlds largest annual gathering of architects and interior designers.

I felt very fortunate to be able to share my work with the global architecture and design community, said Emmanuel Manny Miana after giving a truly laudable presentation of Villa Marina, the Tantoco familys home in Santa Elena, Laguna.

The suburban home was inspired by the bahay-na-bato (stone house) from the Philippines Spanish colonial past.

Miana, whose work is well-regarded in the country, received a rousing round of applause for his presentation before a packed audience and WAFs three-member panel of international judges.

His family and some colleagues flew to Singapore to give him moral support, including his team from Emmanuel A. Miana and Associates (Eama) as well as John Samonte, Jorge Yulo, Christian Guerrero, Anthony Nazareno, Alfred Wieneke, Ariston Tan, Ed Calma, Bong Recio, Meloy Casas, Paolo Alcazaren and Elizabeth Reyes.

Villa Marina truly celebrates the Filipino design aesthetic as reflected in its architecture, interiors and landscape design, even in its lighting. This project integrated technology with context, climate and cultural diversity, infusing the Filipino vernacular with contemporary vision and global appeal, Miana said of his presentation.
