Twelve Architects & Masterplanners

The National Trust have revealed the exciting plans for the future of Castlefield Viaduct, and we are delighted to share that we are on board! Phase Two will see the park extended, allowing visitors further access to the historic structure and more opportunities to connect with nature 🌱 "It has been a huge privilege to watch the Castlefield Viaduct project progress, and to now be working on the second phase with the National Trust, Arup, BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd) and the local community. This project is very close to our hearts, and we are so proud of what we have achieved as a team. Together, we continue to unlock the potential of the Viaduct, to connect the people of Manchester with nature, heritage and community." #NationalTrust #CastlefieldViaduct #Manchester #UrbanPark

We're so pleased to see Castlefield Viaduct featured alongside nine other fantastic transformative parkland projects in Architecture Today. Thank you for including us amongst your picks, Stella F. 🤩 "Following the closure of Manchester’s Central Station in 1969, the Grade II listed Castlefield Viaduct – built for railway services into the city in 1880 – closed to the public and rendered redundant. London studio Twelve Architects worked with the National Trust to deliver the ‘rails-to-trails’ project, an exemplar of adaptive reuse that celebrates the site’s heritage by preserving the rusted steel structure while contributing to the urban greening of the city and addressing inequalities in access to nature."

Last week, we were invited for a tour of the Texaa factory in Bordeaux, where we learned about the history of the company and the manufacturing and testing process for fabrics and various other products. We also got a preview of some of the new fabrics they are developing, that use small off-cuts to reduce waste ♻️   Afterwards, we were given a tour of the MECA building by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group. The MECA houses the regional cultural agencies dedicated to the performing arts, literature, and film, as well as the FRAC (Regional Contemporary Art Fund) of New Aquitaine. It is the region’s new house of the creative and cultural economy 🎭📖🎬 Thank you to Texaa for having us!   #texaa #bordeaux #mecabuilding #BIG #bjarkeingelsgroup #factoryvisit #fabricmanufacturing
