Brief Overview:
The Hollings Building—nicknamed the “Toast Rack” for its parabolic frame—was designed as a catering college. With its playful form and bold use of concrete, it remains one of Manchester’s most distinctive and eccentric Brutalist structures.

The risograph process creates bold contrasts, layered textures, and subtle variations from print to print. The choice of Munken Pure Rough paper enhances the tactile, raw quality of the ink and gives the image a warm, soft finish.
