He’s fascinated by how places evolve… how design, planning and everyday life leave their marks, blending architectural insight with social history, a little nostalgia and the human stories behind brick, stone and glass.He loves unearthing hidden facts and reading the city’s clues, and Manchester is the perfect scale for it: big enough to be global, small enough to feel connected. Its resilience, progressive streak and cultural diversity… from music to making… give endless material.Through these architect-led walking tours, Ric helps guests see the city afresh: why it looks the way it does today, what those choices mean for communities, and where it might go next." } ] } ] ```
