The Festival of Xtreme Building (FXB)
The Festival of Xtreme Building (FXB) launched in summer 2007 and occupied a high profile piece of land in Birmingham City centre. They challenged artists and architects to work together and produce experimental structures to be exhibited on the site, free for all to visit (an open air gallery of unusual structures). Some of the structures were built with the help of ordinary people; communities and school children gained a learning experience by working with design professionals. FXB created a visible platform for creatives to bring their installations and showcase them at the site. They also encouraged performers to use the site as a venue and hosted many events free of charge.
