Wybourn '09: 2009

About the Project

The Wybourn Estate in North Sheffield is a 1930's estate with the usual formula of 2 bedroon semi-detatched housing built for steel workers. It is now trying to re-define itself.
Last year a live project here developed a vision for a new future and carried out preliminary consultation work with their engaging “open house”. Parkway Housing Association
has continued with this work and now feel ready to do more detailed work on specific uses for some open spaces and “gateways” into the estate.
This year the project hopes to build on the work from last year and take it to the next stage, with physical ideas designed and some prototypes/and or demonstration projects built.

The Wybourn '09 Team

Images presented to the residents

Cookie Decoration Event

This was a cookie decoration event we hosted in Wybourn to make people aware of our involvement in the redevelopment of the local community. Setting up outside the local school we revieved an overwhelming response from children and parents undertaking the school run.

Presenting images that were to be used as inspiration to create an open dialog of discussion, residents offered opinions both strongly positive and negative. While their was a wide variety of different opinion, certain patterns started to occured with strong preferences towards certain sites and uses that should be undertaken there.
