The Grade II* Metropolitan Cathedral is among Liverpool's many listed buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by architect Frederick Gibberd, who won a global design competition, construction of the cathedral commenced in 1962 and concluded in 1967. Previous cathedral designs were proposed in 1933 and 1953 but remained unfinished. The 1959 design competition specified seating for a congregation initially set at 3,000 (later reduced to 2,000) with clear views to the altar to enhance participation in Mass. Another requirement was the incorporation of the existing Lutyens crypt into the structure. Gibberd's solution was a circular building with the altar at its center, utilizing the crypt's roof as an elevated platform, positioning the cathedral at one end. Taylor Woodrow secured the construction contract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cathedral is constructed of concrete with Portland stone cladding and an aluminum roof covering. Its circular plan has a diameter of 195 feet (59 m) and includes 13 chapels around its perimeter. The conical shape of the cathedral is crowned by a tower in the form of a truncated cone. Sixteen boomerang-shaped concrete trusses, held together by two ring beams—one at the bends and one at the tops of the trusses—support the structure. Flying buttresses attach to the trusses, contributing to the cathedral's tent-like appearance. Rising from the upper ring beam is a lantern tower adorned with stained glass windows, culminating in a crown of pinnacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMy unique and captivating prints showcase the raw, unadorned beauty of Brutalist architecture in all its glory.

Its moniker pays homage to Sir Charles Renold, an esteemed engineer and former vice-president of the Manchester College of Science and Technology. While not officially listed, the Renold Building (designed by Cruikshank and Seward in 1962) holds the distinction of being the pioneering example of its kind within the UK—a comprehensive structure dedicated to housing lecture theaters and seminar rooms. An early adopter of the tower and podium layout, it's heralded for its zig-zag curtain wall, a roof inspired by Niemeyer, and an acclaimed mural by Victor Pasmore. Among the proposed changes in the SRF is the potential removal of the Renold Building's podium to facilitate the creation of a new residential block, aligning with the SRF's emphasis on increased building density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMy unique and captivating prints showcase the raw, unadorned beauty of Brutalist architecture in all its glory.
