Hodder's landmark for Salford

Article Abstract:

The University of Salford's Centenary Building is a visually stunning building which won the 1996 Stirling Prize, but reaction from students is mixed. The Centenary Building, designed by Stephen Hodder, is a tough, easily-maintained building which meets its brief of being a 'statement building' with a strong image. The building demonstrates the concept of disciplined romanticism, and is both functional and also an extension of the city street. However, some users feel it is too colourless and fails to meet their specific needs.
