ISG Totty Building - Builds Manchester Festival Centrepiece
ISG Totty Building has been appointed by Manchester City Council
to construct the centrepiece of the inaugural bi-annual Manchester
International Festival, which commences on the 28th June. Festival
Pavilion, designed by renowned Manchester architect practice
Stephenson Bell, has been erected adjacent to Manchester Central
(formerly G-Mex), where it will remain for the duration of the
18-day event.
Manchester International Festival is the first event of its kind,
showcasing original works created especially for the festival by
some of the world’s most innovative artists, across a broad spectrum
of the arts, popular culture and music.
Festival Pavilion will become the central focus of the event,
providing an inspirational space to soak up the festival’s ambience
with a performance area, high quality catering and enclosed seating
capacity for approximately 175 people. The main pavilion is a 21 m
high circular tensile fabric structure, with a central steel mast
and 26 perimeter fixing points at ground level. A second outdoor
space, which will have a parasol covered area provides additional
seating for a further 200 people.
Philip Ryder, managing director of ISG Totty Building, commented:
“The Festival Pavilion is set to become a real focal point for the
Manchester International Festival and provides an innovative
backdrop to this exciting cultural event”
