Four Days on the Outside

For 4 days on the outside project 6 architecture students made a work with or visible to people in Sheffield, UK, 2002.

“Encouraging more interaction between the university and its surroundings, discrete projects ran in various urban venues. City Mine(d) asked their participants to design and construct a structure made of old car tyres. Tackling issues of ownership, surveillance, transgression and citizenship, students explore the parameters of public space as they tried to site their sculpture at different locations.” (from Building Clouds, Drifting Walls, Ruth Morrow)

Among the places where the sculpture was placed, was a space in front of the City Hall, in the heart of Sheffield. When after half an hour local police insisted that the object would be removed ASAP, the students of the Sheffield University School of Architecture could personally experience regulations –invisible at first glimpse- that are imposed on public space.

This was the first collaboration between professor Ruth Morrow and City Mine(d), many were to follow.
