His Manchester is never gloomy nor foreboding. He is not interested in glowering concrete nor picturesque shabbiness. He doesn’t fight the colourless skies, endless cranes and garish hoardings, but neither does he dwell on them. Buildings, not mood, are his centrepieces.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelen Barrett\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2022, Gunner Gu has been capturing the essence of Manchester’s twentieth-century architecture in the serene stillness of early morning—just after dawn, before the city stirs to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together his striking photographs, showing landmarks such as the Toast Rack and the Renold Building, alongside lesser-known buildings like the Guardian Underground Telephone Exchange.
