Design by Tonkin Liu, the 'Singing Ringing Tree', is a unique musical sculpture which overlooks Burnley from a position high above the town.

Constructed from pipes of galvanised steel stacked in layers, this Panopticon takes the form of a tree bending to the winds and harnesses the energy of those winds to produce a low, tuneful song.

In June 2007, Singing Ringing Tree was named winner of a national award for architectural excellence by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
