\nCOOL(ING) THE TOWERS<\/p>\n
Announcing an
\nINTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION,
\nto redesign the SHEFFIELD COOLING TOWERS<\/p>\n
The cooling towers are one of the first things people see on arriving in Sheffield from the north.
\nThey are graceful, enormous and unused. Currently, they mean industrial collapse, defeat, it’s over.<\/p>\nWe want to make them a symbol of post-industrial Sheffield, as well known as Anthony Gormley’s Angel of the North in Gateshead, to make them represent Sheffield: industrial past, creative today, green future.<\/p>\n
To make them mean, SHEFFIELD ??????????????
\nTHE BEST CITY FOR LIVING IN THE WHOLE WORLD<\/p>\nTHE BRIEF: to redesign the two cooling towers next to Meadowhall. Any medium, at any price.
\nRedesign, cut them up, statues inside, light out of the top. Anything.<\/p>\nTHE PRIZE: 20 ?UROS
\nAnd the chance to do something amazing for a lost northern city.
