The BP Solar Showcase was built in six weeks to coincide with the G8 Summit in Birmingham in May 1998. The form of the building is driven by the south-facing solar roof/wall, which is curved and angled. The building has now been re-located to Baglan Bay, South Wales, as a permanent visitor centre for an energy park
