MoMA "Manchester: Rebuilding the City Centre" (Sound Design)
Video Manchester: Rebuilding the City Centre needed to capture the energy and vitality of the city center eight years after it was decimated by a terrorist bombing. The video illustrates the implementation of master urban planning concepts and depicts how they have been instrumental in revitalizing the city.
