More photos from Salford Quays in Greater Manchester. (See also yesterday) The weird building above (another example of 'Deconstructivist' architecture?) is The Lowry theatre and gallery complex, named after Manchester's famous painter, L S Lowry, and holding some of his work. It was designed by Michael Wilford and opened in 1999. Shops, offices and restaurants surround it.
Below: a detail of The Lowry, with coloured walls, lights and reflections combining to remind me of stained glass.
Below: it was that pop of red that attracted me, stark amid the green and yellow colouring of a modern, glass office block.
Great architecture and really good photos.
