23JulZaha Hadid for Free!

Renowned for making eye catching but ultimately unachievable design solutions the architect firm has achieved a built structure in the UK for the Manchester International Design festival. The tensile structure was built in collaboration with Tony Hogg Design Ltd a tensile structure engineer (also responsible for the retractable roof at Wimbledon) and Acoustic consultants Sandy Brown Associates.  Collaborations were in place from the very start, which has resulted in much praise for its acoustic performance.

The fluid Zaha Handid styling unifies the space, intertwining performance, audience and passageways to make a intimate and unique concert experience. Best of all entry is free and the installation is designed to travel, which means you can wait for it to come to you.
