Beetham Tower Rising Above Deansgate-Castlefield, Manchester

25 September 2019 · Manchester

Beetham Tower pushes its glass curtain wall into a heavy overcast sky above Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop. Below it, a Victorian railway viaduct with Gothic stone arches meets a living green wall — three distinct building eras stacked into a single street-level view. The contrast is architectural fact before it is anything else: the city keeps accumulating layers, and from this angle they align.
