Rebuilding Manchester at Renaissance Hotel
Another event with an architecture theme is this three-day exhibition at the Renaissance Hotel. Rebuilding Manchester is a massive graffiti-inspired photo collage of the city’s buildings, collated by artist Richard Cowley. The collage, possibly the biggest of its kind in the world, is arranged in 3D so you can walk straight through it, getting a radical perspective on surroundings we’ve all become accustomed to.
