Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester
Winner in an international competition

   

Manchester City Council

   

The submission involves a total redesign of Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester. The project centers on a large walk through interactive fountain court and new pavilion buildings by Tadeo Ando.

The lighting proposal takes a holistic approach to the articulation of the overall landscape and urban design. The principal aim is to explore how lighting can decisively contribute to a welcoming and stimulating night-time public realm and turns Piccadilly Gardens into a 24 hour space in a 24 hour city.
Project completed in 2001.
