"incompetent Manchester-based charlatan developers, BSC Group"

SO TRUE!

Farsight · November 15th, 2006, 02:02 AM

Uh oh. Somebody's going to get sued.

Liam-Manchester · November 15th, 2006, 08:10 AM

The taller the better, let's hope this is true.

Manchester Planner · December 6th, 2006, 10:47 PM

...and... what's happening? Did the application get submitted?

Karl Duvall · December 7th, 2006, 12:09 PM

Hello people

A full planning application is being submitted on Friday..

You can expect to see a set of images in this weeks MEN, also the AJ (Architects Journal) are running an article this or next week about the development.

I will upload a full set of high res images on tuesday morning.

The Longford · December 7th, 2006, 12:38 PM

Thanks for the update - full you say? Not outline? That would be great news.

Karl Duvall · December 7th, 2006, 08:26 PM

Just tried to post the images but im not allowed to add attachments, can anyone tell me how to add them to my posts??

macc · December 7th, 2006, 08:29 PM

It needs to be hosted on a web page somewhere. If its not up already you can open a photobucket account (http://photobucket.com).

You then upload you files to photobucket and it provides you with an image link, which looks like a web address but it has [img]image tags[/img] around it.

Try 'quoting' a post that has a picture in it to see what it looks like.

Karl Duvall · December 7th, 2006, 08:42 PM

cheers Macc.

Here you go.

Ta Karl

Must say, I do like it's presence from here

Mez · December 7th, 2006, 09:55 PM

And More Red lights!!

SleepyOne · December 7th, 2006, 09:59 PM

Thanks Karl. Looks great. Such a pity I have so little faith in BSC to actually deliver the scheme.

Do you have the view from Victoria Station area available to post? I remember this one was particularly dramatic on the previous set of renders.

cottonopolis · December 7th, 2006, 10:00 PM

Thanks for the renders. I have to say that I still don´t like these one bit though. The enormous concrete pannelled sides look terrible and sit uneasy against the glass cladding. The podium is AWFUL - much worse than canopus. The tower looks like a 70´s scraper from the states..

SleepyOne · December 7th, 2006, 10:03 PM

The podium is faithful to the template set out in Fielden Clegg's Greengate masterplan and it is important to view this tower in that context. Nevertheless the design and relationship between the tower and podium and between podium and public realm is signifcantly improved on the browny-looking earlier incarnation of this scheme.

This has the makings of a great scheme.

Manc Guy · December 7th, 2006, 10:03 PM

Thanks for those pictures BTW.

I like these now from what I've seen. Look at the Arndale in that picture for comparison...
