29. LIBRARY WALK, MANCHESTER
Library Walk was designed by SimpsonHaugh and Partners
Main contractors for the project – WAAGNER BIRO
Client – WAAGNER BIRO
The project was an opportunity to experiment with new design tools, technologies and fabrication methods
to allow the pure expression of structure in sculptural forms.
The centrepiece of this 175 m² pavilion is the ‘cloud’, a 30-tonne polished stainless steel monocoque roof
composed of pre-fabricated panels welded together to form a seamless object. The distinctive shape of the
roof was form-found using mathematical algorithms designed to create a smooth, organic undulation in the
soffit, based on spherical distortions of a flat surface. The stiffness and strength of the monocoque structure
allows it to span 15 m across a column-free space.
This has been set carefully atop a vertical glazed wall of triple-layer, frameless structural glass panels of
7.2 m in height. These are wedged into a shoe at the base, allowing a simply supported connection to the
roof. The glass panels are joined with structural silicon, so it acts as a monolithic shell that resists lateral
loads created by wind.
