\nThe London Eye is set to have a new rival \u2014 thanks to a cadre of design talents\u00a0in Thailand. Bangkok-based architecture studio Concept i, led by Geoff Morrison, the founder, and architect incharge of exterior design Francesc Domingo, will be master-planning and designing\u00a0The Whey Aye, a giant observation wheel in Newcastle upon Tyne, in partnership with British\u00a0developer\u00a0World Wheel Company. \u00a0 At 140 metres (460 feet) tall, The Whey Aye will be the tallest observation wheel in Europe,\u00a016 feet (5 metres) higher than the famed\u00a0Thames River landmark. The GBP100-million (USD132 million) development in Newcastle Quayside will cover 32,000 square metres, including a new retail, dining and entertainment destination called Giants on the Quayside. The observation wheel will tower above a family entertainment centre, offering such activity areas as trampolines, climbing walls, and a skywalk. A multi-purpose play and sports complex, with covered five-a-side pitches, tennis courts, and\u00a0a state-of-the-art virtual golf club, will complement the entertainment centre. More:\u00a07 of Asia’s best resort residences \u201cGiants on the Quayside will truly set Newcastle apart as a first-class destination for leisure and entertainment, and help create one of Europe\u2019s leading waterfront experiences,\u201d said Phil Lynagh, chief executive officer of World Wheel Company\u2019s Newcastle operation, in a statement. \u00a0 The Whey Aye development is expected to generate some 550 jobs, with\u00a0completion set for 18 to 24 months from start of construction. Established in 1996, Concept i has expanded over the years to open an office in Shanghai and work\u00a0on more than 150 projects in at least\u00a019 countries.
