- The Daily Express Building, located on Great Ancoats Street, Manchester, England, is a Grade II* listed building which was designed by engineer Sir Owen Williams. It was built in 1939 to house one of three Daily Express offices; the other two similar buildings are located in London and Glasgow. The pre-World War II building is notable for its timeless, "space-age" quality and is often mistaken for being much younger than it is due to its futuristic avant garde appearance. The building is futurist art deco, specifically streamline moderne with its horizontal lines and curved corners. It is clad in a combination of opaque and vitrolite glass. It was considered highly radical at the time and incorporated a growing technology, curtain walling. Unlike the London and Glasgow Express buildings, the Manchester building was designed by the engineer for all three buildings, Sir Owen Williams. It is considered the best of the three Express Buildings, and is admired by architects such as Norman Foster and Mancunians alike. The building was Grade II* listed in 1974, just thirty-five years after its initial construction, and remains Greater Manchester's youngest II* listed building. (en)
- El Daily Express Building, situado en Great Ancoats Street, Mánchester, Reino Unido, es un monumento clasificado de grado II* diseñado por el ingeniero Sir Owen Williams. Fue construido en 1939 para albergar una de las tres oficinas del Daily Express; las otras dos son edificios similares situados en Londres y Glasgow. Aunque fue construido antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, este edificio destaca por su aspecto atemporal y «espacial» y con frecuencia se cree que es mucho más reciente que lo que en realidad es debido a su apariencia futurista y vanguardista. El edificio es de estilo art déco futurista, más específicamente streamline moderne, con sus líneas horizontales y esquinas curvas. Está revestido en una combinación de vidrio opaco y . Se consideró muy radical en la época e incorporaba una nueva tecnología, el muro cortina. Al contrario que los edificios del Express de Londres y Glasgow, el edificio de Mánchester fue diseñado por el ingeniero de los tres edificios, Sir Owen Williams. Se considera el mejor de los tres edificios, y es admirado por arquitectos como Norman Foster y por los habitantes de Mánchester. Fue declarado monumento clasificado de grado II* en 1974, solo treinta y cinco años después de su construcción, y sigue siendo el edificio más reciente de grado II* del Gran Mánchester. (es)
