The purpose of the competition was to design the new piazza walkaway canopies, a contemporary bandstand for the BBC Philarmonic and the canopies for the Metrolink Tram Terminus. The designed canopy is a fluid public space fusing entertainment with its day to day function. Its soft, fluid and yet dynamic form complements that of its surrounding linear environment. The canopy’s fluid form is shaped after exploring the resemblance between the masterplan and a human hand, where the roads become fingers and the piazza becomes the palm. The canopy’s form is further shaped in similar with the elasticity of skin folds and structured by life lines. There is no distinction between roof and walls, which melt together creating distinct contrasts of light and shade. The bandstands are two fluid elements of landscape emerging from the ground, also creating seating areas and recreational spaces - one of them directed towards the park and the other towards the piazza.
