CUBE is collaborating with the Manchester Society of Architects to bring you their annual Design Awards 2010. The awards provide the public with a fantastic opportunity to see some of Manchester's freshest and most exciting architecture at various stages of development.

This year, for the first time, and in addition to the Category awards, visitors to the exhibition during its opening week will be able to vote for their favourite building or project in the show, the author of which will receive a special 'People's Prize' at the awards presentation evening that will be held at CUBE on 29th April 2010.

The MSA Design Awards coincides with the Manchester Architecture and Design Festival, a month long festival that aims to promote architecture and design in Manchester.

As part of the festival, CUBE will be showcasing a selection of exciting models from award winning architects Hodder + Partners, the architects who originally designed CUBE gallery.
