Love it or hate it, Piccadilly Plaza is the defining face of modern Manchester. Designed by Covell, Matthews & Partners and completed in 1965, this sprawling complex—including the soaring City Tower (formerly Sunley House) and the Jarvis Piccadilly Hotel—is a masterpiece of Brutalist ambition.
Famous for its textured concrete wall panels (often called the "Berlin Wall" of Manchester) and its floating "Space Age" roofline, it represents the bold, gritty optimism of the city's post-war reconstruction. Whether you see it as a concrete monstrosity or a modernist treasure, this collection celebrates the graphic shapes and raw power of Manchester's most debated landmark.
