Yesterday we spent the day with the Friends of Millhouses Park group who are trying to bring their Mill Buildings back to life. We worked with BDR (Bureau of Design Research, University of Sheffield) to create a morning of workshops and an afternoon of site visits to give the group some skills and inspiration for their project.

Here are some of the things we got up to...

Leo Presenting for FOMP
Presentations from Leo at BDR about the design process

FOMP Workshopping
Activities exploring the different roles and stages during the design process

FOMP Collaging
Making collages to express the group's vision

Butcher Works
A tour of Butcher Works - A fabulous historic works which has been converted into housing, commercial space, workshops and a cafe

Firth Park
Visiting the First Start Centre in Firth Park - A multi use building which caters for a huge variety of users and acts as a social space for the park at weekends

Hillsborough Park Pav
A look round the Hillsborough Park Bowling Pavilion which is a fantastic example of a building which blends seamlessly with the park it sits in

Hopefully the day will have helped the group to move their project forward - they came away full of ideas and tonnes to think about before their next workshop with us in a couple of weeks.
