Since CUBE was set up in 1998 it set itself apart from other Architecture Centres with its programme of innovative exhibitions and commissions. Through Graeme Russell’s unique vision CUBE hosted shows by FAT, Will Alsop and Bruce McLean, David Adjaye and Kisho Kurokawa. Through the determination, vision and belief of the CUBE board, with the assistance of Manchester City Council and RENEW, the centre’s future has been secured and will continue as an architecture and built environment venue. With a renewed emphasis on professional development as well as the integration of education and public engagement, CUBE will continue to explore architecture, construction and design in order to seek out innovation and drive good practice. The programme of events will explore the issues and ideas surrounding constructed environs of the city, with a larger and more accessible series of supporting talks and seminars. CUBE’s new aim is to investigate and inform all aspects of the design, construction and management of our built environments, seeking out innovation and improving understanding. CUBE will evolve into a hub for debate, demonstration, public consultation, learning, creativity and innovation for Manchester and with the wider region.
