  • From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: the Emergence of a 'New Manchester' in the Nineteen Sixties
    Introductory essay, Making Post-war Manchester: Visions of an Unmade City, May 2016 From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: The Emergence of a ‘New Manchester’ in the Nineteen Sixties Martin Dodge, Department of Geography, University of Manchester Richard Brook, Manchester School of Architecture ‘Manchester is primarily an industrial city; it relies for its prosperity - more perhaps than any other town in the country - on full employment in local industries manufacturing for national and international markets.’ (Rowland Nicholas, 1945, City of Manchester Plan, p.97) ‘Between 1966 and 1972, one in three manual jobs in manufacturing were lost and one quarter of all factories and workshops closed. … Losses in manufacturing employment, however, were accompanied (although not replaced in the same numbers) by a growth in service occupations.’ (Alan Kidd, 2006, Manchester: A History, p.192) Economic Decline, Social Change, Demographic Shifts During the post-war decades Manchester went through the socially painful process of economic restructuring, switching from a labour market based primarily on manufacturing and engineering to one in which services sector employment dominated. While parts of Manchester’s economy were thriving from the late 1950s, having recovered from the deep austerity period after the War, with shipping trade into the docks at Salford buoyant and Trafford Park still a hive of activity, the ineluctable contraction of the cotton industry was a serious threat to the Manchester and regional textile economy. Despite efforts to stem the tide, the textile mills in 1 Manchester and especially in the surrounding satellite towns were closing with knock on effects on associated warehousing and distribution functions.

  • Faqs for Prospective Students
    HWS I ARCH Frequently Asked Questions on HWS architectural studies major final model from ARCH DESIGN II Studio by Addie Duplissie-Johnson 1. IS HWS’S PROGRAM A ‘NAAB ACCREDITED’ DEGREE PROGRAM? No. HWS’s Architectural Studies major is a pre-professional liberal arts degree. You will receive a B.A. in Architecture when you graduate. 2. WILL I BE A LICENSED ARCHITECT AFTER I GRADUATE FROM HWS? No. In order to become a licensed architect, you need to study architecture in an accredited professional program, either at the undergraduate (Bachelor of Architecture degree) or graduate level (Masters of Architecture degree). HWS’s program is a 4-year pre-professional non-accredited liberal arts college major in architecture studies. You can work in an architecture office; you just can’t become licensed until you go to graduate school. In order to become a licensed architect after completing HWS’s degree, you will need to go to a 3 year M. Arch. program at a major university. 3. HOW MANY OF HWS ARCHITECTURE MAJORS GET INTO GRADUATE SCHOOL? About 50% of our majors apply to graduate M. Arch. programs. The other 50% choose to work in real estate, construction management, historic preservation, interior design, planning, or landscape architecture. We have an excellent record getting students into graduate schools. 4. WHAT GRADUATE SCHOOLS HAVE ACCEPTED HWS ARCHITECTURE MAJORS?
