The exhibition marks the re-launch of the CUBE gallery in Manchester, UK
The exhibition Future Landscape shown at CUBE, Manchester, has now come to an end. Over the two months of being opened to the public, the exhibition has gathered under one collection several projects, bridging Architecture and Landscape, which, in a near future, will shape the North West region of England.
Projects of prominent architects based mostly in the region were thus displayed to give the opportunity to the public to gain an insight on how the region will be shaped in the years to come and also to express their views on such regeneration projects.
Varied graphic styles, design approaches and thus resulting design-forms were highlighted by this exhibition which brought to the viewer an understanding on the diversity of the projects and their suitability for the chosen sites. Through walking and observing the works on display, the viewer was certain to find a project which stimulated his/her imagination.

Unmissable and unmistakable were the ideas and drawings from Will Alsop studio for the project in New Islington, North East Manchester (see also our previous New Islington post).
After such a great start, as this exhibition marked the re-launch of the CUBE gallery, I wish all the best to the curators for future exhibitions.
