Famous names on Manchester Airport art wall
22.06.10
Peter Kay, Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher and indie group The Stone Roses will have their name permanently etched on to a new ‘eco’ art installation at Manchester Airport. Work has already begun on a glass-covered walkway that will feature names of the North West’s most famous people and places.
Hundreds of names will be ‘hidden’ in a giant word search as part of the walkway, which is being built to link terminals one and three. Its designers are hope people using the walkway will try to solve the puzzle, which aims to celebrate the best of Greater Manchester and pay tribute to its heritage.
The design of the walkway will also help the airport in its bid to be ‘carbon neutral’ by 2015 by using third generation LED lighting to cut energy consumption by about 40 percent, airport bosses say.
