The Non-Standard Habitats Atelier at the Manchester School of Architecture has published its year-end catalogue of student work for 2025–2026. The book brings together the atelier's MArch projects, each set within Manchester and its changing urban fabric.

Gökalp Kalfa's Ferranti Non-Standard Performance Hub appears in the catalogue: an adaptive reuse project that transforms Manchester's former Ferranti engineering building into a digital performance and creative production hub, with a new performance volume set above the existing building.

The catalogue open on the Ferranti Non-Standard spread, with a section drawing on the left page and a dusk aerial view of the illuminated building on the right
