Tales of the City Research 2

I wanted to look at Manchester as the inspiration for whatever design I think about; it has some beauitful architecture with lots of history, but if you look a little bit either side of that there are plenty of modern glass buildings as well. The contrast makes the city much more interesting, and is already a good basis for telling a story.

The older buildings generally have a lot more detail including arches, columns, clocks and decorative windows. Many newer buildings are made primarily out of glass/windows and tend to be quite minimalistic - they barely look like they should be in the same city.
