Connections - Face of Liverpool

A work integrating art and architecture, 'Connections - Face of Liverpool' has become a landmark. Incorporating a walled garden into its architecture in the heart of the city's busy commercial district, it is designed to recognise and celebrate Liverpool's national and international connections. The faces captured in the glass portholes represent Liverpool’s diverse gene pool; pioneers, traders, travellers, migrant people, from throughout history and all over the world, who have made Liverpool their home. Their stories are complemented by the Morse Code inscription on the curved outer wall: "permission to come aboard".
