Factory International, Manchester

Factory International and Aviva Studios are key components of a major cultural development in Manchester. They are part of a larger initiative to create a world-class arts venue that will host a wide range of cultural events, performances, and exhibitions.

Designed By Brinkworth this new, large-scale arts venue has been developed as part of a project inspired by Manchester's vibrant cultural scene and the legacy of the Factory Records label, known for artists like Joy Division and New Order. The space is designed to be highly flexible and adaptable, able to accommodate a wide range of events, including large-scale performances, exhibitions, and immersive experiences.

Brinkworth was involved in designing the interior public spaces for Factory International (Aviva Studios). Their work on the project is significant because they were tasked with creating an immersive and functional environment that would support the diverse range of performances and events expected at the venue. The design includes the theater spaces, lobby areas, galleries, and other public areas within the venue.
