SJ8397 : Reflective Ceiling, Library Walk
taken 10 years ago, near to Manchester, England
Reflective Ceiling, Library Walk
The reflective, metal ceiling to SJ8397 : "Glass Bubble" at Library Walk.
As part of the restoration of the Central Library and Town Hall Extension, together with the general improvements to St Peter’s Square, a new £3.5m glazed link has been installed part-way along Library Walk, connecting the newly revamped library and town hall.
The new, glass bubble-like enclosure, which features a reflective metal roof, was designed by leading Manchester architect Ian Simpson and given planning approval in 2012 despite concerns regarding the closure of the right-of-way overnight as the automatic glass doors will be closed between the hours of 10pm and 7am (Link
