Description
|
This building
beside the River Mersey at King's Dock is
home to the 10,000 seat Echo Arena and a
Convention Centre that has a 1,350 seat
auditorium and a 7,500 square metre
exhibition space. The architects,
Wilkinson Eyre, say of the brief that it, "demanded architecture of the
highest quality, due to a historic setting
next to Albert Dock and adjacent to the
World Heritage Site on the Mersey
riverfront. The development has an iconic
status, defining Liverpool’s regenerated
waterfront with a landmark structure which
unifies the building’s varied functions in
a single distinctive form." |
