Supercity - Will Alsop's Northern England (Manchester)
BackAn exhibition by controversial architect Will Alsop at the Urbis center in Manchester explored the possibilities of an extended conception of city, hypothetically built around a huge communication node like the M62, a highway connecting the cities of Liverpool and Hull via Manchester and Leeds, creating a sort of urban wireframe sustained by common services. The hypothetical architectural structures shown at Urbis, all marked by Alsop's colorful style, highlight a much more realistic future for the Northern English landscape than just the architect unreal visions.
