About this title

Synopsis

The Liverpool Map, by Inge Panneels and Jeffrey Sarmiento, is a unique artwork, fusing 16 layers of coloured glass to create a map of Liverpool that is historic, social, geographical, cultural and emotional. Housed in the new, award-winning Museum of Liverpool, it was designed with the input of local people, marking a place and time in LIverpool's history; a snapshot of the city in 2008. It is not only a unique way of representing the city, but an astonishing technical feat. This book breaks down those layers, detailing the people and places inspiration and events that have contributed to making Liverpool the place it is today. It delves into Liverpool's background and history, and the context, early in the 21st century, of its 800th birthday in 2007 and Capital of Culture status the following year. It looks at its ideals of legacy and participation. The final section also demonstrates the sheer scale of the project, and the groundbreaking techniques devised and employed to create this vast glass sculpture.
