Manchester Athenaeum is a part of Manchester Art Gallery. It was originally a club built for the society.

Elizabeth Gaskell's house was the home of the famous author and her family from 1850 till 1884. The house's architecture style is rare in Manchester.

It's a warehouse in the Piccadilly Basin area of Manchester City Centre. It's the earliest surviving canal warehouse in the city.

Alan Turing Building is a building at the University of Manchester and it's named after the mathematician and founder of computer science. 

Through time, can you see a change in the design of the buildings and the materials used to construct them?

Yes I can see a lot of changes, like the type of materials that have been used to build each building. Old buildings are brown and darker because people used to use bricks and stuff like that to make the buildings stronger. The new ones look more colourful and blue because they use a lot of glass to build them. Sometimes they cover whole buildings in glass to make them look bigger and new.
