KAMPUS项目是一个新的街区空间，前身是曼彻斯特大都会大学校园，位于城市中心。建筑师利用场地上原有的建筑结构——包括运河边维多利亚时期的砖制仓库和一座建于1964年的混凝土塔楼——创造了新的连接和目的地，展现了此处在城市街区尺度上的发展机遇。KAMPUS是许多建筑与空间组成的大熔炉，在颂扬城市的活力和多样性的同时，保持了对运河街道历史品质的尊重。
KAMPUS is a new neighbourhood located at the former Manchester Metropolitan University campus in the heart of the city. Utilising the qualities of the existing built structures – Victorian brick canal-side warehouses and the 1964 concrete tower – presents the opportunity to develop at the city block scale, creating new connections and a new destination. A melting pot of buildings and spaces, KAMPUS will celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the city with respect to the historic quality of Canal Street.

项目中每个区块的建筑高低不一，使得各立面都可以被人看到。建筑师在立面的不同位置设置开洞，减少砖块体量给人的尺度感；同时使用轻盈的像素平衡各个里面，增添轻松之感。建筑在水平方向被分割成了三个各具特色的元素。最下层是暗色穿孔金属板包裹的裙楼；中部为纹理粗糙的红色砖墙；屋顶则参考荷兰式坡顶房屋，但是是由型钢制成。
The architecture expresses the individual building blocks with variations in height to make each facade legible. The alternating positions of accentuated apertures in the facade work to reduce the scale of the brick mass while the light pixel elements add relief and balance to the facades. The buildings are horizontally divided into three distinct elements: a podium with dark profiled metal cladding, a mid-section with rough textured red brickwork, and a roofscape characterised by Dutch houses also clad in profiled metal.

裙楼以一致的基座形式突显出新的建筑和塔楼，创造了一道鲜明的沿街立面。通透的底层空间让行人可以看到内部丰富的酒吧、咖啡厅、商店和餐厅，为项目带来生机，形成独特的场所感。新建的景观入口连接KAMPUS和外部道路，建筑之间充满趣味的空间则会将人们逐渐带到项目的核心区域：秘密花园。这里是下午和傍晚社交活动的最佳场所。
The podium anchors the new build and tower elements in a consistent base while creating a defined edge to the street. A transparent plinth will provide views into a variety of independent bars, cafes, shops and restaurants that will breathe life into the scheme and create a unique sense of place. The newly landscaped entrances provide access to KAMPUS and the interesting spaces between the buildings will draw people into the heart of the scheme; a unique ‘secret garden’ that forms the perfect backdrop for afternoon and early evening social events.
