Gutterfunken is the German term for the chaotic cabling seen on buildings as they struggle to adapt through time. Iris Bertz leads a walk through the Jewellery Quarter, an area going through rapid changes and where the layering of history is thick. On top of it all, new services, guttering and cabling, lighting, alarms, satellite dishes are added, replaced, hooked onto buildings like a crazy growth, dragging Victoriana into the 21st century. Does aesthetics simply not come into it? What price convenience?
