"Dear Sir / Madam,

We are Architecture students at the University of Sheffield and would like to publicise an upcoming event.
On Friday 25th February and for one day only, the latest designs from first year (the efforts of around 90 students!) will be erected on a series of designated sites along The Moor in Sheffield city centre. From biomaterials to polymers and concrete, their focus will be on the use of different materials in the design of ‘A Place for Conversation’. An exhibition of the work, within a vacant shop unit (the old Vodafone shop on The Moor) will also follow.

If you are interested in broadcasting this, we would be happy to appear on the radio to do so! The following piece (which is open to editing) encapsulates our message…

‘The University of Sheffield Architecture School will embark on a landmark day of public interaction with the architects of the future. Alongside more traditional construction methods, shoppers on the Moor will see straw bales and rammed earth installations erected before their very eyes. 'We aim to get you talking,' explains James Hickman, first year, 'Conversation and materials are centre-stage'. At the heart of the spectacle, the bandstand - and the former Vodafone shop converted into exhibition space. Drama and intrigue will abound: their success or failure could be on a knife edge!’

Kind regards,

James Hickman (07887983606) and Hana Shibu (07540329194)"
