MANCAT Campus Harpurhey

Here is a short slideshow of the MANCAT Campus, Harpurhey near Manchester by Walker Simpson Architects. The photo's were taken last week. It was completed in 2006 at a cost of 7.1m.

In my opinion, in some areas, it bears a resemblance to the Bauhaus building in Dessau. See earlier posts.

The Bauhaus, Dessau

Below is a video linked from Google Video. It is of the Bauhaus at Dessau, Germany built in 1926 by Walter Gropius. Just click the play button (sometimes you need to do it twice) and enjoy. Its 27mins long and there are some breathtaking shots of this beautiful building. Thanks to The East Coast Architectural Review for spotting this one.

I'm sure that the striking £7.1m Mancat College in Harpurhey (2006) by Walker Simpson Architects has its genus in the Bauhaus building at Dessau.
