Manchester Urban Street Corridor with Glass Tower

8 October 2019 · Manchester

A city-centre street in Manchester channels traffic and eye alike toward the mid-distance, where a railway bridge cuts across the view and construction cranes mark the skyline beyond. On the left, brick and canopy from an older retail block; on the right, a curtain-wall glass tower climbs out of frame. The gap between them does the compositional work — old fabric and new development holding the same strip of pavement, the blue sky overhead keeping it honest.
