Making the Lowry Book

"Many people in a variety of disciplines have contributed to making The Lowry. Above all, this book is about design management and its challenges. Treating this enormous project as a paradigm, the author discusses the work of the architects, engineers, consultants, acousticians, theatre designers, gallery designers and graphic designers, and the way in which their work had to be co-ordinated and inspired by a central management with a clear idea of the final result to be achieved." "This book shows the workings of a fascinating process: the creation, from scratch, of a true landmark that will for many years to come act both as a major catalyst in the process of urban renewal, and as a major cultural venue."--BOOK JACKET.
