Starting the design process


We spent some of the morning reflecting on Saturday’s consultation; what we learnt from it, the characters we met and some of the ideas that we got from it for new uses for garages.

We brainstormed a list of the ideas that had come out of the two engagement exercises, and those ideas that we have come up with as a group from our research into the area. Then we devised a system for categorising the cost, scale and time period of the different ideas. This was a little tricky to start with, but forced us to consider the requirements of each idea, and start to make assumptions about practicalities and cost. We plotted these in a kind of gant chart (see working drawing below). At the same time the idea of management of the garages was recurring. Would the garages be managed by Sheffield Homes, the community, local organisations or some kind of co-operative?
