Forgotten Spaces is back! For those of you that do not know what it entails; it is a competition which is run by Sheffield Hallam University in conjunction with the Royal Institute of British Architects. The aim of the competition is for students to design and develop a site within their local area to give a fresh look, and explore potential solutions for reusing the ‘Forgotten Space’. It gives students the opportunity to gain an insight into the skills needed to regenerate and design spaces. Taking part in this competition is an amazing opportunity for anyone interested in studying architecture or other creative subjects. It gives you an understanding of what it is like to be an architect and the design process, and it is an impressive addition to your UCAS personal statement.
In previous years, the students have received amazing prizes as
they achieved 1st & 2nd place. The pressure is on but
we are sure the students will generate some excellent ideas! The below images
are examples of the work that was submitted last year.

The teams for the competition have already been decided. This year there
are two teams of 3 students in each group, all in their first year of college. Each team member is either
studying Fine Art, Graphic Communication and/or Photography. Say hello to the teams:
Team TRCreate: Emily
Saul, Alice Kendall and Hannah Wilson.
Team Blank Canvas: Rebecca
Peet, Natalie Goldson and Harry Hardwick.
The competition kicked off today as the students arrived at
college eager to share ideas with one another. There have been some really
exciting and inventive ideas already (whilst munching pringles and donuts!), which we are incredibly pleased about! Now
the hard work begins – putting the ideas into action! The deadline for the submission is on the 23rd March and it will come round quicker than we know it!
Good luck to both teams and I look forward to seeing the end results - let's enjoy it along the way!
