City center architecture

"As exciting as new things can be, you’d be remiss if you didn’t also spend some time with the city’s architectural elders. As a place that grew rich and stately on the money generated during the Industrial Revolution, Manchester is filled with buildings that tend toward the very grandest of 19th- and early-20th-century tastes. Although it’s currently closed to visitors, the neo-gothic Town Hall is an impressive mass of spires and towers.Just next door you can visit the Central Library, whose giant domed roof is propped up by imposing stone pillars. Entry is free, and visitors can enjoy the silence between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM Monday to Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Friday and Saturday. Just a 15-minute walk from the library, you can visit the Manchester Cathedral, a building that has only deepened in character as it has survived numerous wars, bombings, and remodelings. You can find out more of its story by visiting, for free, seven days a week. The Tourist Board runs a daily walking tour that takes you through the highlights for $12. The tour sets off at 11:00 AM each day from the Central Library." - MATADOR_NETWORK

The Manchester School of Architecture (MSA) is a School of Architecture, jointly administered by The University of Manchester and the Manchester Metropolitan University in the city of Manchester, England. The School was formed in 1996 with the merger of the architecture departments of the University of Manchester (then Victoria University of Manchester) and Manchester Metropolitan University. Students of MSA are classified as students of both universities and are issued with separate cards for each university, allowing them to use the resources and facilities of both institutions. Upon graduating the degree is awarded by both universities. The School covers three main aspects of architectural education. An undergraduate course (BA Hons) which has exemption to the RIBA Part One exam; a professional postgraduate course (MArch) offers exemption to the RIBA Part Two exams; and finally a range of postgraduate Masters and PhD courses. Researchers from the Manchester Architectural Research Centre (MARC) input directly into the graduate teaching. MARC is a multidisciplinary research team based at the University of Manchester: its staff and postgraduates are researchers in a variety of affiliated fields of study, and offer an interdisciplinary context for architectural research at MSA. Graduation ceremonies of Manchester School of Architecture are held in turn annually at the University of Manchester and at Manchester Metropolitan University. For example, graduates of 2013 attended the ceremony with fellow University of Manchester students in the Whitworth Hall, while the 2014 graduation was held by Manchester Metropolitan University in an external rented venue. The school occupies the Kantorowich Building (formerly known as the Architecture and Planning Building) which was opened in 1970. The architects were two professors of architecture, N. L. Hanson and R. H. Kantorowich. Though the exterior is plain there is an attractive courtyard inside with pools and formally displayed a Barbara Hepworth sculpture.[6][7] Its neighbours are the Dental Hospital, the Business School and the Arthur Lewis Building. The B.15 Modelmaking Workshop was established within the basement of the building where it has served all architecture courses taught at the school since 1970.
