Aston Triangle

The name Aston Triangle, its apex at the junction of Jennens Road and James Watt Queensway, was coined in c1990 to encompass the campuses of Aston University and the University of Central England, now known as Birmingham City University, at Gosta Green.

Neither Aston Triangle nor Aston University are actually situated within the ancient parish or manor of Aston, but in Birmingham.

He is internationally famous for works using metal and stone and frequently water. Many of his sculptures are commissions and tend to be on a large like this one on the campus of Aston University.
