Birmingham's Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer

A large, modern arch structure set in a green landscape, with people standing near the base, under a clear blue sky.

A striking new landmark is taking shape near Birmingham, UK. The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer is a dramatic 51-meter-tall loop designed by Snug Architects.

Made from one million bricks, the structure will serve as a public archive, with each brick linked to a real story submitted by people across the UK.

A modern architectural structure in the shape of a large, looping ribbon, situated in a grassy landscape with several people walking around and enjoying the scenery under a clear blue sky.

Visitors will be able to scan any brick with their phone to read the associated story, creating a large, searchable record of personal experiences.

The monument’s looped form is meant to stand out from nearby motorways, rail lines, and even planes approaching the airport, making it visible to thousands every day.
