The Hall of Fame for Great Americans--the original "Hall of Fame", was conceived of by Dr. Henry Mitchell MacCracken, Chancellor of New York University from 1891 to 1910. It was designed as part of the school's undergraduate campus in University Heights in the Bronx, which is today the campus of Bronx Community College of The City University of New York. The Hall of Fame stands on the heights occupied by the British army in its successful attack upon Fort Washington in the autumn of 1776. MacCracken, once said "Lost to the invaders of 1776, this summit is now retaken by the goodly troop of 'Great Americans', General Washington their leader. They enter into possession of these Heights and are destined to hold them, we trust, forever."
The memorial structure is a sweeping open-air colonnade, 630 feet in length, designed in neoclassical style by the Stanford White. Financed by a gift from Mrs. Finley J. Shepard (Helen Gould), the Hall of Fame was formally dedicated on May 30, 1901. The Colonnade was designed with niches to accommodate 102 sculptured works and currently houses the busts and commemorative plaques of 98 of the 102 honorees elected since 1900. Each bronze bust, executed by a distinguished American sculptor, must be made specifically for The Hall of Fame and must not be duplicated within 50 years of its execution. To be eligible for nomination, a person must have been a native born or naturalized citizen of the United States, must have been dead for 25 years and must have made a major contribution to the economic, political, or cultural life of the nation. Of the 17 categories in The Hall of Fame, Authors is the largest, with Statesmen following closely.
The complex of three buildings adjoining the Colonnade--Gould Memorial Library, the Hall of Languages, and Cornelius Baker Hall of Philosophy--were also designed by Stanford White and bear a close conceptual relationship to the Colonnade, with the library as the central focus.

I was walking around the perimeter of the HS2 development works which is bordered on one side by Curzon street. I was taking pictures over the canal bridge looking towards the new viaducts for the trains. I met Mace who was from London and he was on a stopover in Birmingham on his journey to Scotland. He immediately engaged me in conversation and was a lively personality. After discussing the state of play of the HS2 and Birmingham, he willingly posed for my 100 strangers’ project. The sun was out and I asked Mace to stand under the shade. Curzon street is to the right and the view is down towards the Thinktank museum and Birmingham City University. The new Curzon Street station is further down the road.

The medals were designed to a request of Professor Philip Plowden, Vice Chancellor of Birmingham City University. He wanted a medal which would be awarded to the students from Health, Education and Life Sciences who graduated early in 2019 to go and work in the National Health Service and help alleviate the issues caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic. The Vice Chancellor wanted a medal which could be worn on a uniform.
These are silver-plated struck bronze medals - struck at Thomas Fattorini in Birmingham - and were designed to be accessible. It was important that the medal didn't have any ambiguity and was understandable by a wide range of people who would be viewing it: graduates, families, patients, colleagues in the NHS. I wanted the medal to be contemporary but not abstract and to reflect the idea that the people who were working in the NHS were working selflessly, putting themselves at risk to help others, perhaps even risking their lives to save lives. The key was a quote from the Humanist Geographer, Yi-Fu Tuan reflecting on his view of selfless acts in society, represented on the obverse, along with a heart, larger than the virus molecule. A hole leads the eye through to the reverse where the text changes to playfully reference the unique British surrealism of The Beatles “All You Need Is Love”, a song which in a naive and innocent way echoes Fuan’s philosophy. On this side love overpowers the virus molecule.
