Vertical City Season 1 Beetham Tower, Manchester 2009
0/10 by 0 users
As the tallest residential skyscraper in the UK, Manchester's distinctive Beetham Tower is turning heads and dividing opinion. Heading up a new generation of skyscrapers that are regenerating Britain's post-industrial cities, Beetham is at the heart of a battle between traditionalists and modernists. Despite producing some of the world's leading architects such as Richard Rogers and Norman Foster, Britain isn't exactly enamoured with skyscrapers. And this reluctance to embrace the high-rise even extends to the country's future king, Prince Charles.
