MArch Architecture Project at the Manchester School of Architecture.
The Righton Building in the Manchester Metropolitan University campus is a historically important, yet crucially under-used site at the heart of the university area in Manchester. The grade II listed building is now re-imagined, accommodating an array of robotics makerspaces. The intervention is aimed at a new university course on the advancement of technological and computational processes in the development of construction materials and methods. The facilities provide space for students to work alongside or collaboratively with local architecture practices and researchers, providing a continuous opportunity for networking.
Grade Awarded: First
