Absolutely amazing alliteration

All these proposed developments look very pleasing on the eye & blend well generically with their surroundings. I am particularly impressed with Circle Square Car park/Hotel. It is a beautiful unusual design (not the usual concrete & glass ‘anycity’ structures favoured by Manchester ‘s establishment Architectural companies) and will become an iconic Manchester landmark.

All look good! Especially the car park. Great to see an unusual design for a change

I think the car park is in danger of looking like the Contact theatre.
That said, a car park/hotel next to a motorway is the best kind of temporary building to play around with architecturally.

Circle Square Car Park looks like a bad re-cladding of a 1960s horror.
2 Union Street looks alright, nice brickwork.
No1 Lord Street, Green Quarter looks like a 1960s horror.
The Silk Works looks fantastic.
By Zebith
The circle square car park is, of course, awesome. As is the Contact theatre for that matter, not that there’s much in common between the two buildings other than the use of some well executed imagination and flair.
