Hope Mill /
Constructed in the 1820s, Hope Mill is quite remarkable due to its construction methods. It was one of the first buildings to use fireproofing construction, with no use of timber, and vaulted halls. It has gained listed status due to its extraordinary roof trusses on the top floor.
It is home to numerous small businesses such as FC United and is a hub of the growing art scene in Manchester due to the location of artists studios on the third floor.
It is located in the area known as Ancoats, which is seeing a rapid transformation from a very industrial area of Manchester into the rebranded New Islington, masterplanned by Will Alsop and Urbansplash.

EASA /
The European Architecture Students Assembly is an annual event established by students and tutors of Liverpool University in 1981 as a means of bringing talented students together to discuss the issues facing both the profession and urban environments.
Every summer since, around 400 of the brightest students from every part of Europe have come together in the name of exchange of ideas, culture and experience, to take part in two intense weeks of workshops, lectures, exhibitions and events.
Over the years, easa has been held in many ambitious and inspirational settings, such as a train traveling across Scandinavia, a renovated WWII destroyer moored in the centre of Budapest, and even on the Eastern side of the Berlin Wall in 1988.
EASA is a network of students. It is by students, for students.
EASA has no standing affiliation with any organisation, academic or commercial.
EASA has no central authority, board or chairman. In theory, every student in Europe is connected to every other via their NC (National Contact).
