Manchester Amphitheatre, UK.
The canopy forms the cover to the new external amphitheatre at Manchester College.
The simple elegant design employs a series of inter-connected conics supported on cantilevered steel masts. The efficient structural scheme provided a cost effective solution that maximised coverage and limited the potential for obstructed views.
The PVC Type II fabric provides the lightweight weather protection.
