Combining the Manchester School of Architecture and the Manchester Museum, a competition was established which called for the design of an ‘environment’, for an external space situated just off the main entrance to the Museum.
The competition, was an open invitation to two of the Manchester School of Architecture’s leading BArch studio groups. The computational Re-Map 2000 lead by Nick Dunn and Richard Brook & the kraft-based Prototype #1 lead by Nick Tyson and Ming Chung.
Team Entry:
The Descent of Man, composed of half the studio members of Re-Map 2000. Developed the sort-listed concept design by Joe Haire. Having established a strong conceptual design, the team developed, tested and proposed a practical design solution, which met the design brief, with little compromise of the original design concept.
