Architect Marks Barfield has unveiled designs for a 183 m tall observation mast to be built on the site of the West Pier in Brighton.

The tower, named Brighton i-360, will be 50 m taller than the London Eye. An estimated 4000 visitors a day will be able to view the city from within the tower's glass and steel pod. Twenty per cent of its energy will be provided by wind turbines on top of the mast. Construction costs are estimated at £15-20m; a planning application will be lodged after a community consultation.
