Enabling the Unscripted
In a world where buildings are often scripted into obsolescence, this project embraces a philosophy that aims to enable the unscripted. Every decision is informed by a commitment to responsiveness from architecture to environment, from structural logic to social engagement; it envisions a built fabric that adapts to community needs, yet is open to the unknown and unscripted.
Anchored by a focus on the University of Manchester’s educational programme and amplified by the historical presence of the Grade 2 listed Holloway Wall on site, this project is crafted with disassembly and reconfiguration in mind to support unscripted phases of occupants that evolve and adapt as needs arise.
Here, boundaries blur between architecture, people, and the making of the city, held always in a state of flux.
