From the benches of the B.15 Modelmaking Workshop to a global digital platform – the MSA Model Archive celebrates the craft, creativity, and legacy of modelmaking at Manchester School of Architecture.

This new archive, hosted on Figshare in partnership with the University of Manchester Library and the Research Lifecycle Programme, brings together decades of student and research models – preserving and sharing the craft for generations to come.

The exhibition presents a curated selection of models from this growing digital collection, offering a first look at the work that will form part of the wider MSA Model Archive on Figshare.

Exhibition open to students at Manchester Technology Centre Gallery 11–21 November 2025
