Liverpool Airport to get makeover for capital of culture year
24.08.07
Liverpool Airport is to receive a makeover by design company Broome Jenkins to celebrate the city's reign as European Capital of Culture in 2008. Illustrator John McFaul is to create a 300m-long mural for the terminal, column wraps for the baggage reclaim hall and wraps for the seven buses that shuttle passengers between planes and terminal.
The mural features images of Liverpool, Chester, Manchester, Blackpool and the Lake District, creating 'a flowing story and journey through the North West', a spokesman for Broome Jenkins said.
In addition to the mural, plasma screens on board the vehicles will show 'welcome' videos featuring film footage of the mural, with content designed by River Media. The company also designed lounge areas with tables, carpet tiles and wall decorations that feature the Liverpool 2008 brand.
The spokesman noted that: 'All branding will be removable, so the airport will not have to be 'undressed' at the end of 2008.' The mural, which will be completed in September and officially unveiled on 14 November, does not contain any reference to the year of culture and will have a lifespan of about ten years.
