Glass and Steel Footbridge, Manchester City Centre

5 October 2019 · Manchester

A tubular glazed footbridge cuts diagonally across the frame in a low-angle shot taken from street level in Manchester city centre. The steel lattice framework pulls tight against an overcast summer sky, the white-tiled facade behind it holding its ground as a flat counterweight. The geometry does the talking here — each triangulated panel repeating across the curve until the whole structure resolves into something closer to engineering as argument than engineering as utility.
