Draw The Future Manchester

Some young architects decided to focus on Manchester as part of a group project. Rather than the usual sketches they have built a box. Inside that box is a giant clear plastic window and pens that allow you to draw your vision of Manchester. Metal walls and magnets will allow for leaving notes or perhaps additional sketches. Details abound at the full Style Weekly article.

The kiosk, which fits into a standard parking space and can be broken down into four sections, will travel to different spots in Manchester. Its first stop will be at 201 Hull St., just south of the Mayo Bridge, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8. On Sunday it will move to Tricycle Gardens at Bainbridge and West Ninth streets. And on Oct. 15, it will appear at the Hull Street Library.

The architects will document everything and present their findings at the Architecture Exchange East conference in Richmond from Nov. 2-4. Then they’ll try to find a new home for the kiosk, maybe in another Virginia city.
