Description
Stephenson Bell Projects is the first major monograph about Stephenson Bell Architects, the genuinely innovative, highly distinctive, Manchester-based practice. Their work has set the trend in the transformation of Manchester from a neglected post-industrial backwater into a young, vibrant city of international standing. Stephenson Bells work is clean, beautifully detailed, and subtly modulated to its context. New offices such as Trinity Court and Eastgate and loft conversions such as the Smithfield Buildings have marked Stephenson Bell out as one the leading practitioners of regeneration architecture.
