Urban Splash introduces New Islington, one of the developer's ambitious urban regeneration projects. Following Will Alsop's plan, the 30-acre site east of Manchester city centre comprises 1,700 new homes, a school, offices and retail and leisure spaces, built around a new canal and water park. The project includes schemes by FAT and other exciting architecture practices.
When the Starr Auditorium is sold out, tickets at £4 each will be available for a Live Video Relay of the event in the Seminar Room. Ticket holders for the Seminar Room will watch the event on a screen, and will not be able to participate in the Q&A at the end of the talk. A complimentary glass of wine will be served to viewers in the Seminar Room.
