Glass Dome Facade, Manchester — Worm's-Eye View

5 October 2019 · Manchester

From directly below, the spherical glass dome curves away in every direction at once — the grid of point-fixed panels pulling the eye toward a sky that offers no horizon. Overcast light strips the facade of reflection and colour, leaving only geometry: steel fixings, horizontal seams, and the slow arc of glass bending overhead. Sky and structure share the same pale tone, making the boundary between them a question rather than a line.
