Architecture in Manchester
We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Manchester Architecture. We cover completed Mancunian buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the city. The focus is on contemporary Manchester buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.
We have 5 pages of Manchester Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

The courts are expressed as long rectilinear forms, articulated at each floor level, and projecting at each end of the building as a varied composition of solid and void. The building houses 47 courtrooms, 75 consultation rooms, in addition to office and support space over 15 levels.

This major football ground redevelopment involves the construction of the north-east and north-west quadrants – unifying the stadium by reinforcing the `bowl’ concept. The design of the quadrants introduces major vertical circulation and this has been resolved by of highly modelled stair towers placed centrally in the quadrant creating an iconic image for the stadium.
