Glass Tower Under Construction, Manchester City Centre

8 October 2019 · Manchester

A curtain-wall glass tower mid-rise against a deep cerulean summer sky in Manchester city centre. Scaffolding grids the southern face in a dense geometric lattice, a construction hoist riding its edge floor by floor, while a green tower crane cuts a hard diagonal from the upper left. The sandstone parapet at street level roots the shot — old masonry holding its ground as the glass climbs above it. Precision and process, each readable in the same frame.
