    History

    Planning history

    As the final stage of The Mailbox development, Birmingham Development Company Ltd. decided to organise a design competition for a building on the site. The winning design was submitted by Birmingham-born architect Ken Shuttleworth of MAKE Architects.

    Plans for The Cube were first submitted to Birmingham City Council's Planning Department on 31 August 2005 for outline planning permission. A six-week public consultation stage was implemented immediately, and the planning application received outline planning permission from the Planning Committee on 7 February 2006.

    The Cube (restaurant)

    The Cube is a pop-up restaurant created by Electrolux. Since 2011, two versions of the restaurant have been located in different cities in Europe, where a number of guest celebrity chefs have brought teams and dishes from their own restaurants to cook in the spaces.

    Description

    The Cube was designed by Park Associati design studio in Milan, and the construction covers a space of 140 m2. It has an outside balcony allowing for a 360-degree field of vision. The exterior shell is made of aluminium and has hexagonal shapes cut into the shell by laser in order to allow light into the interior. The pop-up restaurant acts as a promotional device for home appliance manufacturer Electrolux, and the restaurant is fitted out with their equipment.

    Two copies of The Cube were made, and they both tour Europe in a different city each year. During 2011, versions of the restaurant visited Milan and Brussels, while in 2012 they are in London and Stockholm. The restaurant proved so popular in London that it was announced in September 2012 that the restaurant would stay in the city until 31 January 2013. There are further plans for the restaurant to visit Switzerland and Russia. In each city, the restaurant is placed on top of a monument; in Brussels it was on top of the triumphal arch at the Parc du Cinquantenaire, in Milan by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, in London it is located on top of the Southbank Centre.

Their easy life is forever shattered, however, when the farm's cattle are claimed by rinderpest. PK's mother succumbs to a nervous breakdown, and he is sent away to a conservative Afrikaans boarding school while she recovers.

    The Cube

    by: Soulitude

    Wake up in a cell all strangers around
    Trapped in a maze, no way out
    Must get away from this prison
    Somebody help me I pray
    Behind this walls, death or freedom
    Prime numbers show you the way
    Watching them die one by one in the cubes
