RE:Defining the City

Three Sheffield Hallam University students have cleaned up at the Chartered Institute for Architecture Technology (CIAT) awards, taking every gong on offer for the third year running.

Student Aimie Rimmington was awarded the CIAT Student Award for Technical Excellence in Architectural Technology for 2009 for her comprehensive design project.

The award recognises technical excellence by students on an accredited architectural technology programme. It includes a prize of £750, a certificate and a trophy, which were presented at the Presidents' Annual Dinner Dance.

Entrants must demonstrate their achievement of technical excellence in design and construction. The Sheffield Hallam project was a hypothetical design proposal for the site at the southern edge of Sheaf Square adjacent to Sheffield Railway Station. The students were expected to produce complete architectural solutions for this key part of Sheffield's city centre.

Andrew Stanford received a Highly Commended award and Kieran Mappleback was given a Commended award, each for their work on the Sheffield Digital Campus project. All three students graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in November.

Norman Wienand, Head of Architecture and Planning at Sheffield Hallam, said: "Aimie's submission was an excellent technical project which reflected the ethos of the competition."

"Our Architectural Technology course is very special and winning the awards for the third year in a row reflects the high standard of the architecture programme, the support of our business partners and the dedication of the students."

Architecture guest speakers announced for new year

A programme of architectural guest lectures by renowned speakers has been announced for the new year by Sheffield Hallam University.

Starting on February 10, the five-week programme includes Dusty Gedge on the design of green roofs, Stewart Dodd on sustainable architecture, C.J.Lim, from Bartlett School of Architecture and Michael Wilford, the internationally renowned architect who partnered the late James Stirling for twenty years.

The series of lecturers will build on the University's reputation for architectural excellence, and is part of the Re:Defining the City programme. Re:Defining the City is a campaign to promote Sheffield, which has a strong focus on the architecture and built environment of the city.

2009's programme, which concluded on Wednesday with Daniel Rosbottom, has featured Glenn Howells and David King of ShedKM.

At Wednesday's lecture, Daniel told a large audience about his role as head of the School of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston University with his work as co-director of drdh architects.

He spoke about the workshop studio extension in Nether Green, Sheffield, which was completed this year.

Principal lecturer Eamonn Cronnolly said: "Sheffield Hallam's Architecture Programme aims to inspire debate on architecture and the city, from invited guests of international standing. This is for the benefit of students, practitioners and the general public, with free access on Wednesday evenings."

Discovering Sheffield, a seriously underrated bet for a weekend break
By Nigel Thompson

If your children are heading off to university later this month it’s a fair bet that over the years they’re away partying - sorry, studying - you’ll get pretty familiar with the city they’re in.

Doubly familiar in my case, since both my offspring are at the University of Sheffield. My wife and I have become minor experts on the sprawling, hilly Steel City, having done several trips from our home in Essex to and from various halls of residence and student pads (last Saturday Mum and Dad’s removal services installed our daughter in a new house).

We lived there ourselves in the early 80s and you couldn’t avoid the scars from the ravages of Thatcherism… lovely people but a careworn city. Well, goodness me, has it changed. And based on my experience over that past couple of years, I reckon it’s actually a seriously underrated bet for a weekend break.

I seem to recall Sheffield being something of a hotel desert in the 80s. Now it has an excellent range of modern chains, including Novotel (very handy by the station and Sheffield Hallam University, got a room for £58), Mercure St Paul, Holiday Inn and Hilton. You might also try the historic Leopold Hotel, built on the site of a Grade II-listed school right in the city centre, and Sheffield’s first boutique hotel. Double rooms from £56. We’ve also stayed at the Kenwood Hall Hotel, set in 12 acres of grounds in a pleasant suburb close to the uni but only a mile or so out of the centre. Be warned, it’s not easy to find and the distance from the reception to our room (£64) was quite extraordinary. We tried the Garrison Hotel in Hillsborough, about three miles north-west of the centre but on a tram route. Quirky and motel-like there’s a nice bar and, at £50 a room, with English breakfast included, it’s decent value. A Jurys Inn opened in January - it’s also close to the station and Hallam uni and with 259 rooms is the largest in the city. Double rooms start at £49 at weekends. It’s very good for a three-star and the staff are really welcoming.

Personally, I’d abandon the car as the traffic can be wearisome, and it’s horrendous when the freshers start and are getting dropped off by parents. Sheffield has a modern tram network and buses are frequent although, irritatingly, tickets are not interchangeable between operators (First Group and Stagecoach). Taxis are plentiful. Parts of Sheffield are extremely hilly. The Crookes district is 3,000ft above sea level. Well, almost.

My favourite is the Kelham Island Museum, which tells the social and industrial history of Sheffield. Steel and cutlery, needless to say, are foremost. Hence the Bessemer Converter (one of only three in existence) and the beast that is the 12,000 horsepower River Don Engine, used to roll armour plating. It’s run hourly and it’s like standing in your own private earthquake. Entrance is £4 but oddly it’s closed on Saturdays.

I’d also recommend Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, an 18th century industrial works a few miles out on the A621. Free. Right by the impressive Victorian Town Hall are the Peace Gardens and Winter Garden. The former is grassed and paved with fountains and cafes and the latter is a conservatory with exotic plants, palms and a coffee shop.

Sheffield is a wooded city - I’m sure I once read somewhere that it has more trees per head of population (half a million or so people) than any other city in Europe. The charming Botanical Gardens cover 19 acres near the uni. Admission is free.

A big part of the city’s make-up. Championship football is played at Bramall Lane, home of Sheffield United, and at Hillsborough, where Sheffield Wednesday are based.

Take your cossie if you fancy a dip. Ponds Forge is a huge complex near the station, with an Olympic-sized pool, diving pool and fun pool with waves, flumes and lazy river.

Skiers can head to the Ski Village - a large area of dry slopes and a toboggan run where one hour’s skiing costs from £11.40.

The Attercliffe district is a lively area for entertainment. It’s home to the iceSheffield skating complex, where sessions start at £3. My son rates a Sheffield Steelers ice-hockey match - they’re current UK champions.

Meadowhall is a huge mall out by the M1. You could be in Lakeside or the Metro Centre for all it matters. Same old chain shops. Yawn. So assuming you’re giving it a wide berth try the trendy Devonshire Quarter, just west of the centre and home to smart clothes shops and the kind of bars the purchasers of such clobber like to hang out in.

I’m going to recommend the Zeenat - a curry house by the Don Valley Stadium. Great food and a reasonable £15 a head with drinks no problem. Former world heavyweight boxing champ Terrible Tim Witherspoon has eaten there and if he likes it I’m not arguing.

If you want a traditional boozer, head to the Fat Cat by Kelham Island Museum. Proper pub with proper beer. Younger and trendier people than me will be heading to the bars of Ecclesall Road and Division Street.

Like sport, a big part of the city’s persona. Home of the Arctic Monkeys, Def Leppard and Richard Hawley, it’s a major date on the touring circuit. Don Valley Stadium, the elegant City Hall, the Arena and the O2 Academy are the main venues.

The gorgeous Peak District is almost regarded as the city’s private playground. Ladybower Reservoir and dams are impressive but I reckon you can’t beat Castleton with its pubs, shops, hills and caves. Hathersage is a pleasant village for a wander, too.

It's a Big Wide World for product design students

From collectible Batman and Marvel Comics figurines, the Volvo XC60, the Inov-8 rucksack, Mira electric showers, the Victor piggy bank to the Fellowes laptop workstation - all have one thing in common. The person who designed the product learnt their trade at Sheffield Hallam University.

And now there is an exhibition being staged in the city to showcase just some of the imaginative products that Sheffield Hallam's former students have designed.

Called 'Big Wide World', the former students have supplied products and for some of them the sketch work and prototypes that were developed before the product they designed went into production.

Peter Kaye, a senior lecturer at the Sheffield Institute of Arts and the exhibition's organiser, said: "This course has now been running for 35 years and many of our 700 or more graduates have gone on to successful careers.

"Many of them have designed household items that people use every day.

"This show is about what happens to our students once they go out into the 'Big Wide World' and the differences they make to people's lives."

Peter added that the course prides itself on trying to mirror how a professional practice would operate.

Other products designed by Sheffield Hallam graduates include the Dyson DC27 vacuum cleaner, Micro Machines Power Racing Playset and the Jenx Supine Stander for children with limited head mobility.

Big Wide World is on show at the Furnival Building, 153 Arundel Street, Sheffield, S1 2NU from Friday 2 October to Friday 23 October. The event is open to the public: 10-4 Monday-Saturday, 10-8 Wednesday, closed Sunday.

Blueprints for first stages of Sheffield's new retail quarter approved

Blueprints for the first stages of Sheffield's new retail quarter have been approved - but the developers said work will remain on hold until economic conditions improve. The £600 million Sevenstone retail quarter - which will revamp rundown streets between The Moor, Barker's Pool and the Peace Gardens - was put on hold in January because of the recession.

Councillors on the Sheffield Council's city centre, south and east planning board approved detailed plans for the first three out of eight parts of the scheme.

There was still no promise from developers Hammerson about a timescale for the diggers to move in - but project director Carolyn Kenney said she was working hard "behind the scenes" to put everything in place for work to start when "normalised market conditions return".

Coun John Hesketh, chairing, said the proposals offered a "good balance of modern design" while "taking into account sensitive planning issues". Coun Peter Price said: "I think it is excellent news for Sheffield but now we want to see some cranes in the sky."

Building work must begin by the end of 2014 or outline planning permission for the development will expire.

Festival attracts thousands

Sheffield Music City and Tramlines this weekend was a phenomenal success, attracting thousands of visitors and showcasingSheffield to the world.

It was an event that grabbed national headlines, showing the city's musical talent at its best. The entire city centre was buzzing with a wonderful atmosphere.

Right from the festival launch on Wednesday, to Reverend and the Makers' phenomenal climax last night on Devonshire Green,Sheffield has been the place to be for everyone.

The combination of the World Stage, Music Village, Kids Zone, Continental Market, the Wheel, and the main stage on Devonshire Green, meant that outdoors, the whole city centre was vibrant and bustling with happy people. The fantastic tramlines events in venues across the city meant that bars were brimming with festival-goers, and independent venues were happy with the turn out.

Cllr Paul Scriven, Leader of Sheffield City Council, said: "This really is Sheffield at its best. We are proud of the city's talents, and proud to show them off in what has been our most significant music event so far.

"Our thanks go out to all the people who have worked so hard to make the festival happen, particularly the City Centre Team, the police, and Dave Healy and James O'hara from Tramlines. We're also thankful for the support from Matt Helders, Toddla T and Jon McClure, for curating Tramlines and giving their commitment to making the festival a success.

"To see people having so much fun, and to see local businesses thriving, has been a true joy.

"Sheffield has always been on the map for its musical heritage, now we're on the map for our ability to put on a cracking festival, and we've received well deserved national acclaim."

Dave Healy, one of the key people responsible for organising Tramlines, said: "we are over the moon at how well Tramlines andSheffield Music City went. To fill the city with so many people, so much music, so much good will, and so little violence was a real result."

Superintendent Martin Scothern from South Yorkshire Police said, "Hundreds of people attended the music festival over the weekend and they were all in good spirits and there was a good family atmosphere. The police operation of this event was led by the City Centre Safer Neighbourhood Team in support with the City Centre Management Team and there were no major policing issues and the event was a success."

Craig Ithell from local business Bang Bang Vintage, was pleased with the effect that the festival had on his business: "The city centre has been buzzing all weekend, better than I’ve seen for many years. We held a vintage fair and tea party with DJ Carl as part of the festival, and were really happy with the interest received from festival-goers. Our event raised the profile of our business, as well as promoting Help the Aged, our nominated charity."

Nick Simmonite from The Frog and Parrot, a venue involved in the Tramlines events, said: "The festival was pretty amazing. Everyone in the city pulled together to make it a success, with lots of people pulling out the stops to get things right. Everyone had a great time. It was good for the city, and good for business.

There were hundreds of people from out of town, as well as Sheffield people, all having a great time. It was amazing."

Student from the Leeds Metropolitan University walked away with top prize at the RIBA Yorkshire Student Awards 2009

The 2009 RIBA Yorkshire Student Awards were announced on 2 July 2009 at an event packed with professionals keen to see the next generation’s best architectural talent. Undergraduate and Postgraduate work from architecture students at Leeds Metropolitan University, University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and Huddersfield University were entered into the awards which were judged by a panel of industry leaders. Claiming the gold award this year was Alex Hargreaves at the Leeds Metropolitan University.

There were two entry classes for the awards. Each architecture school involved was asked to submit two Part 1 design projects and if relevant to the school, two Part 2 design projects as well. The winners were as follows:

Part 1 (undergraduate)

Gold - Alex Hargreaves, Leeds Metropolitan University
Concept: Cayton Bay Surf School

Silver and Best Presentation - Rob Taylor, University of Sheffield
Concept: The Secret Policeman’s Saloon

No bronze was awarded

Part 2 (postgraduate)

No gold was awarded

Silver - Nikhil Dhumma, University of Huddersfield
Concept: Contemporary Art Museum, Portland, Oregon, USA

Silver - Pete McMahon, University of Sheffield
Concept: The British Centre, Rome

Bronze - Richard Holland, University of Sheffield
Concept: The State of the North Sea

Judge’s comment on Alex Hargreaves;

This project quietly yet convincingly demonstrated a clear line of thought and a thorough investigation of the site, brief and environmental impact of the proposals. The panel were unanimous in awarding this project the Gold award as it was highly sophisticated yet refreshingly low key.

Judges’ comment on Nikhil Dhumma;

This project perhaps told the most complete story of any Part 2 project the panel reviewed. The presentation showed a clear idea that linked the city context to the building programme then through to a highly developed and convincing proposal about the building.

Gerry Togher from sponsor Sheffield Hallam University started the presentations with an introduction to Re:Defining the City; an initiative to promote Sheffield as a great place to live, learn, work and play. The RIBA Yorkshire Student Awards were presented by Geoff Halliwell, Director from Bond Bryan and Kevin Norbury from Ibstock, both sponsors of the event.

Stephen Calvert, Chair of the WYSA (West Yorkshire Society of Architects), who also supported the event, handed out the prize for best presentation.

Guest Speaker at the award was Glenn Howells, director of Glenn Howells Architects.

The RIBA Yorkshire Student Awards celebrate and reward the talent and excellence of the region’s architecture students. The judging panel was chaired by Glenn Howells, director at Glenn Howells based in Birmingham and also includes Geoff Shearcroft, director of AOC Architecture; Kate Scholes, architect at Architecture 2B in Leeds; Ben Elliott, senior lecturer in Architecture at Northumbria University and Geoff Halliwell, director at Bond Bryan Architects.

Could Sheffield city centre become 'slack space'?

Concerns about what is happening to Sheffield city centre amid the global economic recession will be aired at a Sheffield Civic Trust debate called Slack Space... a debate about avoiding a clone city.

Simon Ogden, Head of City Development will join Julia Gash, Retail Entrepreneur, on a panel of experts who will be looking at ideas of how Sheffield can use its spaces for the benefit of the city until the Sevenstone and Moor redevelopment projects get going again.

Simon Gedye, Chair of the Sheffield Civic Trust, says the event will be of interest to 'literally anyone who walks the streets of our city'. Simon said: "The delay in Sevenstone and the closure of high street shops means that our city centre could very quickly start to look neglected and down at heel.

"That will affect the image of the city and is therefore a threat to Sheffield being a successful city where people want to study, shop and live; having spent so much on the streets and squares it is vital that the city doesn't allow vacant shops to spoil Sheffield's image.

"Anyone who has ideas of how we can use these spaces - artists, entrepreneurs, the business community, shoppers - should come along to find out more about the initiatives the City is planning and share their ideas."

Slack Space... a debate about avoiding a clone city is at 7.30 on 21st July 2009 at Electric Works, Digital Campus. The event is free to Sheffield Civic Trust members, non members £5, concessions £2. To book a place email info@sheffieldcivictrust.org.uk

Shouting up for Sheffield as new campaign speaks volumes

Sheffield is a city that should shout about itself - that's the message behind a new drive to showcase what's great about Sheffield.

Sheffield's skyline is changing with exciting and cutting edge developments whilst there is so much to do, enjoy and savour in the city.

Celebrating Sheffield is the thinking behind a new campaign which will promote the city to not only Sheffielders but also to Yorkshire and the rest of the UK.

Re:Defining the City will promote Sheffield as a great place to live, learn, work and play by bringing together what's happening in the city, from events, festivals and exhibitions to celebrating major regeneration milestones and the changing face of the city's architecture.

"We shouldn't be shy about shouting about Sheffield - it's a great place and by everyone joining forces to promote what's going on under this Re:Defining the City banner, we can all play a role in putting the city in the spotlight," explained Cllr Paul Scriven, Sheffield City Council's Leader, who helped to kickstart the campaign at one of the city's most innovative buildings, the award-winning eco-friendly Sharrow School.

"I'm proud of the city, its culture, atmosphere, spirit and people and what it offers from venues through to events and its night time economy. Sheffield is an attractive city with a heady mix of the old and new - there is something for everyone."

Sheffield City Council with CreativeSheffield and Sheffield Hallam University are bringing together a calendar of events and city milestones for the next 12 months which will be promoted through the Re:Defining the City initiative.

Other partners include HR Media, John Lewis, Yorkshire Forward, The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Human and Integreat Yorkshire.

So far a range of designers, architects, businesses and events and arts and Government organisations have signed up including the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, Museums Sheffield, The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Sheffield Theatres Trust and Sheffield Children's Festival.

John Palmer, Director of Communications at Sheffield Hallam, said: "Re:Defining the City is a fantastic campaign and one which many people, businesses and organisations can get behind to support. The ultimate aim is for it to benefit everyone who lives and works in, and indeed loves, the city of Sheffield. The impact will not be felt overnight but in the long term its success, I'm sure, will be immeasurable."

Businesses will be asked to step up and support Sheffield by sponsoring the campaign which will be rolled out over the next few months. It will feature in Sheffield Chamber's Economic Summit - Re:Inventing Business later this month when business leaders will be asked to sign up.

To date more than a dozen events and initiatives have agreed to come under the Re:Defining the City campaign including the prestigious Ruskin Exhibition at the Millennium Galleries, Warp Records 20th Anniversary celebration and the much-anticipated opening of the Crucible Theatre.
