Unit X // Rooftop Visit



Fred Aldous, Neighboring Building

Wooden Boards



Wooden Shelter

Far Back of Rooftop

We visited the rooftop space on Thursday, located on 24 Lever Street, Northern Quarter. The rooftop is part of the N24 building, a collective of designer companies and studios. The space was larger than I imagined and has a decent amount of materials that were previously there. The owners were very encouraging about us re-purposing the current materials. For example, we are able to remove the boards off the railings to re-do/decorate/re-purpose however we would like. Surprisingly, it was a very sunny and warm day, making it appealing to come up with ideas. I do however need to consider what I design and the materials used, as Manchester's weather is unpredictable.

The large space allows us to push the possibilities of what we can design. It is somewhat ambiguous, which relates to our group theme, the unknown. We are still uncertain with what we plan to design and our concept, but will be thoroughly researched through the Easter break.
