Glass Atrium Curved Roof Grid, Manchester Shopping Centre

30 September 2019 · Manchester

A curved steel-and-glass roof fills the frame from below, its concentric ribs radiating outward in tight geometric progression. Pendant spot-lamp clusters hang at intervals across the grid, pulling the eye toward the overcast sky diffused through the glazing above. The structure carries the geometry of engineering as much as architecture — every rib and cable junction a visible decision, not a decorative flourish.
